These images, now part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, offer a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of these two distinct countries during an era of significant change. In the first set of photographs, we find ourselves transported to the vibrant streets of Cuba.

Here, we find ourselves surrounded by breathtaking views of volcanic mountains, lush greenery, and traditional Mayan villages. The people of Guatemala are captured in their daily lives, dressed in traditional clothing, working in the fields or going about their business. These nitrate negatives, taken by Genthe, provide a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and daily life of Central America during the 1920s. The images are a testament to Genthe's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people. Whether it's the European tourists exploring Cuba or the traditional Mayan villages of Guatemala, these photographs transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into a bygone era.
