Discover a unique piece of Cuban travel history with this lot of two vintage tourist cards and their accompanying information slips, both dated December 28, 1954. These rare documents were issued by the Republic of Cuba\'s Ministry of Finance and the Cuban Tourist Commission (Instituto Cubano del Turismo) in Havana, providing visitors with essential services and entry authorization during the vibrant pre-revolution era.
Each set includes a \"Tarjeta de Turista\" (Tourist Card) from Serie B, sequentially numbered 228709 and 228710, indicating a pair issued around the same time. The cards feature a distinctive green design with an artistic rendition of Morro Castle, Havana, and detail a validity period of two years. Accompanying these are the original information slips, printed in both Spanish and English, offering free services from the Cuban Tourist Commission located at Prado y Carcel, La Habana. Both pieces bear the official ink stamp from the Republic of Cuba\'s Department of Immigration with the 1954 date. These historical artifacts offer a fascinating glimpse into 1950s Cuban tourism, perfect for collectors of travel ephemera, Cuban history, or unique vintage documents. They are a tangible link to a bygone era of international travel to the island nation.
