EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stoic presence of Fidel Alonso de Santo, a Spanish brigadier who lived from 1844 to 1895. Born in Burgos, Spain, he became an integral figure in the Cuban war and ultimately met his fate during the battle of Parafejo on July 13th, 1895. In this portrait, Fidel Alonso de Santo exudes strength and determination as he gazes into the distance with a profound sense of purpose. His beard adds a touch of ruggedness to his otherwise refined appearance, while his military attire signifies his role as an officer. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to this image, transporting us back to the early decades of the twentieth century. As we contemplate this photograph, we are reminded not only of Fidel Alonso de Santo's individual story but also of Cuba's tumultuous history. This historic cigar card originates from "The History of Cuba" series by Geografico Universal and was used for promotional purposes by Susini y La Corona Cigar Company. However, let us focus on its intrinsic value as a piece that encapsulates one man's journey through war and sacrifice rather than any commercial associations. As we observe Fidel Alonso de Santo's profile captured within this print collector's item, we are invited to reflect upon the bravery exhibited by individuals like him throughout history – those who have fought for their country with unwavering dedication and left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
