EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Explosion of the Powder Magazine, in the Arsenal, Havana" takes us back to a dramatic event that unfolded in 19th century Cuba. The image showcases the sheer power and devastation caused by an explosion at the powder magazine within Havana's arsenal. The scene is filled with chaos and destruction as billowing smoke engulfs the architecture of this historic city. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of the moment, highlighting crumbling walls and debris flying through the air. It is a testament to both human vulnerability and nature's force. The engraving was originally published in The Illustrated Times on November 27,1858, providing readers with a visual account of this catastrophic event.
