The Spanish-American War, Views of Key West - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph print takes us back to the era of the Spanish-American War in 1898. It showcases a series of views depicting Key West, the American Naval Station closest to Cuba during this significant conflict. The artist behind this masterpiece is Charles Auguste Loye, whose attention to detail and artistic skill bring these scenes to life. The composition offers a panoramic view of Key West's harbor, bustling with activity. From sponge fishing skiffs gliding through the waters to ships arriving at the entrance, every element captures the essence of maritime life during that time. The old fortifications and fortress walls stand tall as a testament to America's coastal defenses. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn towards an American residence on Main Street adorned by a magnificent banyan tree—a symbol of strength and resilience. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst war, everyday life continued for those residing in this strategic naval station. The lithograph also highlights key features such as American barrack square and Alcazar Fort while showcasing the natural beauty of Key West's coastline. Turtles gracefully swim along its shores while seagulls soar above them—an idyllic coastal scene frozen in time. Through Loye's skilled engraving technique, he transports us back over a century ago when tensions were high between Spain and America. This artwork not only captures historical significance but also pays homage to French culture through Loye himself being from Montbard in France. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate history through art—a visual journey into one chapter of our shared past—the Spanish-American War.
