This page departs from the album's photographs to preserve a collection of ornate cigar bands and tobacco labels, mounted as a decorative souvenir wreath. Predominantly Cuban 'Habana' brands such as Romeo y Julieta and Henry Clay reflect the flourishing turn-of-the-century cigar trade encountered by American sailors visiting Caribbean ports. Such scrapbook insertions were a common way for early 1900s collectors, including this USS Columbia crewman, to commemorate travels and everyday pleasures alongside their photographic keepsakes.
