The Spanish-American War, the Rainy Season in Cuba
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a vivid scene of street life during a downpour in 1898. In this engraving by Paul Frenzeny, we are transported to the bustling streets of Cuba where people seek shelter from the pouring rain under umbrellas and makeshift coverings. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays various characters caught in this unexpected weather event. Amidst the chaos, we see ladies on horseback regretting their decision to venture out, while a begging friar seeks refuge alongside a washerwoman and a native umbrella seller. The atmosphere is filled with both frustration and camaraderie as strangers huddle together for protection against nature's fury. The image also provides insight into transportation methods of the time, with volantes (horse-drawn carriages) navigating through muddy streets. Sambo, an animal commonly used for farm work, can be seen seeking shelter alongside other livestock such as racehorses and ponies. This print not only showcases daily life but also highlights the intersection between meteorology and science. As droplets fall from above, it reminds us of how climate conditions impact our lives even today. Through Frenzeny's skillful depiction of this rainy season in Cuba, we are reminded that despite adversity brought on by weather or war (such as the ongoing Spanish-American conflict), humanity finds ways to adapt and find solace amidst challenging circumstances.
