Description
This is a beautiful 1950 panoramic map of Havana, Cuba issued by the Cuban Tourist Commission. The map covers from Rancho Boyeros to the Canal de Entrada. Also includes part of the Morro Castle. A key on the right of the map details various places of public interests, including important buildings, churches, parks, squares, monuments, statues, beaches, hotels, hospitals, fortresses, townships, etc. The map is highly detailed and shows individual buildings, street names, house numbers, parks, squares, piers, monuments, etc. Also shows the routes for the launch services to Casa Blanca, Regla and La Cabana Fortress.
This map represents the glory days of Cuban-American relations when luminaries like earnest Hemmingway dined at the Flordita Hotel and sipped Mai Tai cocktails at Trader Vic. Within the next 10 years Cuba would transform, under Castro's harsh socialist reforms, from the world's playground to an impoverished backwater.
This map was drawn by Rogelio L. Mirabal and issued by the Cuban Tourist Commission, Havana.
