“Cigars! Photography, Industry, and Identity in Ybor City” on the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts

Travel again in time with the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts’ celebratory exhibition “Cigars! Photography, Industry, and Identity in Ybor City.” On April 13, 1885, cigar manufacturing launched in Ybor City with the rolling of its first cigar. To commemorate this vital occasion, FMoPA partnered with Tampa’s J.C. Newman Cigar Factory and the Burns Collection & Archive in New York to supply a uncommon glimpse into the origins of cigar making in Ybor City.

Vintage pictures spotlight the worldwide attain of the cigar business and the communities of cigar rollers — Cubans, Italians and Spaniards — whose experience positioned Tampa on the map as “The Cigar Capital of the World.” This distinctive exhibition presents pictures from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from the Burns Collection alongside present-day pictures of Ybor City’s remaining cigar factories by up to date photographer Zack Wittman. Viewed collectively, “Cigars”! bridges Ybor City’s previous and current by artwork and group satisfaction.
