By [Cuba]. [Florida]
[Various locations in Cuba and Florida, 1890. Very good.. Twelve cabinet card photographs, each measuring 3.5 x 4.5 inches, on matching mounts measuring 5.25 x 6.5 inches, all with manuscript captions on verso. Moderate dust-soiling, minor overall wear, a few small unobtrusive chips to corners. A dozen original photographs picturing a group of men traveling in Florida and Cuba around the turn of the 20th century. The men seem relatively well-to-do and visit several different locations in each place. Four of the photos emanate from Florida while the remainder picture scenes in Cuba. The photographs are all captioned on the verso, which read as follows:

1) "In the Court of Ponce De Leon Hotel St. Augustine"
2) "A frozen fountain in St. Augustine Florida - the white is ice"
3) "Fishing in St. Augustine"
4) "A Tree in Tampa Florida where one tree runs up on another, takes root up in tree then runs down & takes root in the ground again"
5) "A Street in Nevaelas Cuba"
6) "A Country Road in Cuba"
7) "Natives in Havana"
