The dining room of the Havana Yacht Club was a setting for the city's maritime and social life, where sailing families and business leaders gathered at the club's tables. The print comes from the Pan American Union collection, whose staff assembled views of Latin American cities and institutions, often to present the region to visitors and trade audiences in the United States. It dates from sometime between 1920 and 1950, a period when Havana was a busy port and a popular destination for American travelers, and the room's formal setting reflects the club's standing in that world.
