EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the intense combat of San Juan in 1898, during the Spanish-American War. In this snapshot from the 1920s, we witness a group of brave Cuban men standing outside on their war-torn battlefield. The fierce battle between American forces and Spanish soldiers raged until victory was ultimately claimed by the Americans. The image showcases the resilience and determination of these Cuban fighters as they wield various weapons such as rifles, guns, and cannons. Some individuals bear visible injuries, reminding us of the sacrifices made in this historic conflict. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of gravity to this momentous event that took place in Cuba. Printed on a cigar card from "The History of Cuba" series by Geografico Universal for Susini y La Corona Cigar Company, this photograph serves as both propaganda and historical documentation. It encapsulates an era when warfare was still predominantly fought with traditional armaments but also hints at the advancements that would shape future conflicts. As we delve into this powerful image captured nearly a century ago, it allows us to reflect upon the courage displayed by those who fought for their country's freedom amidst tumultuous times. This print stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a reminder of our shared history in North and Central America during the early 20th century.
