EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dignified presence of Alejandro Rodriguez, a prominent figure in Cuban history. Born in Sancti Spiritus in 1850, Rodriguez's life unfolded against the backdrop of significant events that shaped his nation. As a young man, he valiantly fought during the war in Baire and later served as Mayor of Havana in 1900. In this portrait from the 1920s, General Alejandro Rodriguez exudes an air of authority and confidence. His well-groomed mustache adds to his distinguished appearance, while his bow tie and formal attire reflect the fashion trends of the era. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to this image, allowing us to glimpse into Cuba's past. The photograph was originally featured on a cigar card as part of a series called "History of Cuba" by Geografico Universal. Produced for propaganda purposes by Susini and La Corona Cigar Companies, it aimed to promote their tobacco products alongside snippets from Cuban history. Today, this print serves as both an artistic representation and historical artifact. It reminds us not only of Alejandro Rodriguez's contributions but also highlights how cigars played an integral role within Cuban culture during that time period. This image is a testament to the rich heritage and resilience found within North and Central America's diverse tapestry.
