Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. This is an authentic first edition of Cubans of To-Day, a comprehensive biographical record of the prominent figures who shaped Cuban national life in the early 20th century, edited by William Belmont Parker and published by G.P. Putnam's Sons for the Hispanic Society of America in 1919. This specific copy is a significant association copy, bearing a hand-written presentation inscription from the editor himself on the front flyleaf: "To H. H. Clayton with kind regards, W. B. Parker." This signature from William Belmont Parker directly connects the volume to its creator and likely to Henry Helm Clayton, the noted American meteorologist and scientist of the era. As a primary historical source, the book features detailed biographies and photographic portrait plates of the artists, diplomats, and soldiers who defined pre-revolutionary Cuba. Bound in the original dark green cloth of the Hispanic Notes and Monographs series, it features the gold-stamped Hispanic Society seal on the front board and gilt lettering on the spine, remaining a premier archival centerpiece for collectors of Cuban history and rare association copies.
