A Canadian bank's Havana office is the focus here, with the Bank of Nova Scotia name marking a foreign financial presence in the Cuban capital. Canadian banks expanded across the Caribbean in the early twentieth century, serving merchants, sugar producers and shipping firms tied to North American trade. The Library of Congress dates this print to between 1935 and 1947, a period when Havana was a busy port and its commercial streets drew steady outside investment.
