EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Bombardment of San Juan, Porto Rico" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Spanish-American War of 1898. The image showcases the intense naval battle that unfolded in the harbor of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The scene is filled with action and tension as warships clash against each other amidst billowing smoke and exploding shells. Fortifications on land are under heavy bombardment from ironclads, highlighting the fierce confrontation between American forces and their Spanish counterparts. The print offers a glimpse into the portrait of warfare during this era, capturing both the might of naval power and the devastating effects it had on fortresses and cities. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those involved in this conflict. One cannot help but be drawn into this historical moment frozen in time. The artist skillfully captures not only the physicality of battle but also conveys emotions such as determination, fear, and resilience through his brushstrokes. As we observe this artwork from our private collection today, let it serve as a testament to human perseverance during times of conflict. It reminds us to reflect upon how far we have come since then while acknowledging that history shapes our present reality.
