Sepia view across the Rio Ozama at Santo Domingo, with a wooded islet and a line of pilings in the foreground, warehouses and wharves at left, and tall-masted sailing vessels moored along the far bank below a low, tree-covered ridge. The Ozama River was the landing point for the original Spanish colonial city founded in 1496, and its mouth served as the port through which the Dominican Republic's capital traded into the early 20th century.
Sepia-toned photographic print with a white border at the bottom carrying the printed caption; boxed monogram 'L.E.M.' and number '10' at lower left. Light edge and corner wear.
Postmark: SANTO DOMINGO / OCT 29 1906 / REPUBLICA DOMINICANA (plus a faint U.S. receiving mark "...MASS. NOV ... 7-AM 19?6"). Divided back, white border, sepia matte print; light edge wear.
