c. 1949 Hugo del Carril SEECO Promotional Photo – Billetería La Moda Havana Cuba

Original vintage promotional photograph of Argentine tango singer, actor, and filmmaker Hugo del Carril, issued during his association with SEECO Records.

The front features a studio portrait marked “Hugo del Carril – Artista Exclusivo SEECO” with Moss Photo, N.Y. printed at the lower right.

Of particular historical interest is the original blue commercial stamp on the reverse:

Billetería “LA MODA”
San Rafael No. 261 – Teléfono M-9117
HABANA

The Havana stamp provides a fascinating Cuban connection and evidence of the photograph's circulation in pre-Revolutionary Havana. Hugo del Carril was a major figure of Argentine tango, cinema, and popular entertainment, and his recordings were released by SEECO Records beginning around the late 1940s.

A distinctive piece of Latin American music, entertainment, and Cuban commercial ephemera.
