EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Adela Azcuy, a remarkable Cuban patriot who lived from 1816 to 1914. Taken in the 1920s, this monochrome image captures her strong and determined personality. Adela was not only known for her active participation in the war of independence but also for her intellectual pursuits and love for poetry. From an early age, Adela honed her skills in handling weapons, defying societal expectations placed upon women at that time. Despite facing initial resistance due to her gender, she managed to join Lieutenant Colonel Miguel Lores' militia in Gramales in 1896. Her determination and resilience allowed her to become part of the military health corps. In this side view portrait, Adela sits confidently wearing a hat and uniform that symbolize both strength and patriotism. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing the historical significance of this extraordinary woman. This print is part of a cigar card series titled "History of Cuba" by Geografico Universal. Produced as propaganda by Susini y La Corona Cigar Company under Tabacalera Cubana, it serves as a visual tribute to individuals like Adela Azcuy who played crucial roles during Cuba's struggle for independence.
