A long interior corridor in a Cuban house is the subject of this stereograph, which its caption presents as a typical modern home on the island. The Keystone View Company, an American firm that mass-produced stereo cards, issued the view around 1905, not long after the Spanish-American War and the period of U.S. occupation that followed. Meant to be seen through a hand viewer, the paired images gave American parlor audiences a sense of depth and distance, though the caption's claim of typicality is unverified.
