Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Rosenberg Collection largely documents Rosenberg’s family or business trips on luxury cruises during the 1930s to Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and Curacao. In addition, the albums record visits to Mexico, Costa Rica, the Panama Canal, Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala, and Venezuela. Several of the photographs document Rosenberg’s family and friends at leisure on the cruise ships, but the majority depict harbors, historic monuments, bridges, ships, and the many cities and villages he visited in these travels. The collection includes photographs of local people he met or saw, stores, street scenes, government buildings, churches, fortresses, canals, sternwheelers, sailing ships, steam ships, dugouts, docks, native men dipping and loading bananas, a United Fruit Company railroad car and overseers, etc. In addition, Rosenberg saved brochures, itineraries, menus and other ephemera from his travels, which give more meaning to his images. There are also some photos of snow crystal prints of W. A. Bentley, Jerico, Vermont. Finally, the collection also includes some images of the family business, offices, employees, family life and vacations in the United States and Canada, including New York, Burlington, Montreal, Chicago, Detroit, Niagara Falls, New Brunswick, Chicago, and Boston.
