A bread seller on the streets of Havana gives this c1904 view its everyday focus, in a city only a few years into its role as capital of the newly independent Cuban republic. Bread was often sold door to door and from small carts in crowded neighborhoods, so vendors like this one were a familiar part of daily life. Photographs of working people from the early 1900s offer a useful glimpse of how ordinary commerce looked in the city at the turn of the century.
