Santiago de Cuba, on the island's southeastern coast, is the setting for this print, which the catalog dates only tentatively to 1964. Founded by Spanish colonists in the early sixteenth century, the city served as Cuba's first capital and remained a major port for sugar, coffee, and trade with the Caribbean. Its hillside streets and harbor have long made it a vivid subject for photographers. Because the record gives no photographer or exact date, the picture is best read as a view of the city in the early 1960s, a period of rapid change across Cuba.
