EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763): The capture of Havana (Cuba) in 1762. In the image, we see a British cannon battery positioned in front of Morro Castle, strategically installed on a wooden platform with a protective parapet. The gunners are dressed in striking blue uniforms, ready for battle.
The scene is both awe-inspiring and tense, as the cannon battery stands poised against the backdrop of Morro Castle on the right and the cathedral on the left. The meticulous attention to detail by artist Dominic Serres brings this historical event to life, showcasing the intensity and precision required during wartime.
As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the sounds of cannons firing and feel the tension in the air as soldiers prepare for battle. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made and challenges faced during times of conflict.
This print is not just a visual representation of history but also an homage to those who fought bravely for their beliefs. It stands as a testament to human resilience and determination in even the most challenging circumstances.
