The subject here is the Palacio Presidencial in Havana, the building that served as the seat of Cuba's presidency for decades. Construction began in 1913 and was completed in 1920, and the palace was the center of national government during the years this print was likely made, between 1935 and 1947. Its formal architecture and the open plaza around it reflect the civic pride of the Cuban republic, and the building later became the Museum of the Revolution after 1959.
