Justo A. Martí Bodega Postcard Set
Before the neighborhood changed, Justo A. Martí was there with his camera documenting corner stores, community gatherings, political events, protests, the National Puerto Rican Day Parade, and more. In NYC, Bodegas were businesses the community could rely on for credit, items from the archipelago, and household staples. Re-printed from Martí's original collection in the CENTRO Archives, these postcards are windows back into our history. Mail one to your loved ones or keep one for yourself.
This postcard set includes three 4” x 6” postcards of the following images from the Justo A. Martí Photographic Collection taken by Justo A. Martí himself during the mid-20th century in New York:
- Justo A. Martí Photographic Collection. Inside Bodega: JAMa_b39_f01_r0003. Center for Puerto Rican Studies Library & Archives, Hunter College, CUNY.
- Justo A. Martí Photographic Collection. People in a café : JAMa_b40_f01_0001. Center for Puerto Rican Studies Library & Archives, Hunter College, CUNY.
- Justo A. Martí Photographic Collection. The Borinquen Supermarket: JAMa_b39_f04_0006. Center for Puerto Rican Studies Library & Archives, Hunter College, CUNY.
Represent the cultural significance and history of bodegas in NYC with our latest collection of t-shirts, tote bags, stickers, soft-enamel pins, and more. This collection is inspired by the legacy of Photographer Justo Ambrosio Martí and reinterprets vintage photographs from his collection preserved in the CENTRO’s Archives while also celebrating the impact of bodegas in New York City today.
When you purchase an item from La Bodega, you are directly supporting our mission of researching, preserving, and sharing the Puerto Rican experience in the US!
