EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 19th-century vintage photograph of Morro Castle in Havana, Cuba. The image, captured during the 1860s to 1890s, showcases the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic fortress that has stood guard over the entrance to Havana Harbour since the late 16th century. Morro Castle, a symbol of Havana's rich cultural heritage, is depicted here in all its glory. The castle's imposing silhouette, with its distinctive red and white stripes, stands proudly against the backdrop of the urban landscape, dotted with low-lying buildings, winding streets, and bustling activity. A boat and a vessel can be seen in the harbour, adding to the hustle and bustle of the busy port city. This photograph, taken during the albumen or collodion process, offers a unique glimpse into the early days of Havana, a time when horse-drawn carriages and boats were the primary modes of transportation. The image is a testament to the city's vibrant history, showcasing its architectural grandeur, urban development, and bustling harbour activity. As you gaze upon this vintage photograph, you can almost hear the sounds of the bustling town, the chatter of the locals, and the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty and history of Morro Castle and the city of Havana, frozen in time in this stunning 19th-century image.
