$675.00
This is a hand colored map showing the city of Havana on June 30, 1900. This map was created two years after the end of the Spanish Occupation of Cuba and one year before the Platt Agreement, which ended the American Occupation of Cuba.
This map was created for Chief Engineer William M. Black, who was working under the direction of General Leonard Wood. General Leonard Wood had initiated the occupation of Cuba and he became the military Governor of Cuba. General Wood was very focused on restoring services, health agencies, sanitation and postal services. Because of General Wood's emphasis on restoring this public systems, William Black had multiple maps made of Havana and the port.
They reused maps made by one of the most famous Cuban Geographers, Esteban T. Pichardo. Although, Esteban T. Pichardo passed away in 1879, he made some of the most precise and well used maps of Cuba at the time. Pichardo is still known as one of the best cartographers from Cuba. He was so much more to Cuba history then just a map maker. He was a lawyer, Navy Auditor, Philologist, and geographer. He published poems and a novel. Unfortunately, Pichardo's story is a sad one and he died poor and sick in 1879.
This map shows the contribution these three men made to modern Cuba. W.M. Black created a public mapping system, construction of wharves, public services and the protection of the ocean front, which established Havana as a viable port and brought many jobs to the area. Almost all of the services shown in the collection of maps from William M. Black and Esteban Pichardo went on help build the framework for an autonomous Cuban government.
This map is framed with conservation glass and was framed and certified through Michelson's in DC (which closed in 1999).
