EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Oriental Park Racetrack in Marianao, Havana, Cuba circa 1915. The race track, operated by the Havana-American Jockey Club of Cuba, was a popular destination for horse-racing enthusiasts during the winter season. In this bustling scene, spectators eagerly gather at the grandstand to witness thrilling races unfold. The image showcases a diverse crowd of both men and women who have come together from all walks of life to enjoy this exhilarating sport. Their faces reflect anticipation and excitement as they watch horses thunder down the track. The elevated view allows us to appreciate the vastness of this historic racetrack and its surroundings. Located in one corner is a lady dressed elegantly, adding a touch of sophistication to this lively event. The colorful attire worn by both men and women adds vibrancy to an already captivating scene. This photograph not only provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century Cuban culture but also serves as a testament to Oriental Park's significance as it was the sole race track in Cuba before Fidel Castro's rise to power in 1959. Today, it stands as an important tourist attraction that continues to draw visitors who seek glimpses into Havana's rich history and heritage.
