EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history - the Great Naval Battle near Santiago de Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Created by William Lionel Wyllie, this print showcases Admiral Cervera's daring attempt to leave the harbor amidst intense maritime warfare. The scene is filled with tension and action as warships from both sides clash fiercely. The USS Texas, USS Iowa, and USS Brooklyn engage in a fierce battle against Spanish vessels such as Cristobal Colon, Furor, Maria Teresa, Oquendo, Vizcaya, Pluton. The fort of Morro stands stoically in the background while troops on land observe the chaos unfolding at sea. Wyllie's attention to detail brings this historical event to life - every ship meticulously depicted with billowing smoke and crashing waves. This illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on July 30th, 1898. The Spanish-American War marked a significant turning point for both nations involved. It showcased America's growing naval power and ultimately led to Spain's defeat and loss of its colonies. This lithograph serves as a reminder of the bravery displayed by soldiers and sailors on both sides during this tumultuous time. It immortalizes an important chapter in history when nations clashed over control of territories far away from their shores.
