EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the first drawings of Matanzas, dating back to 1680. The field Master and Captain General Don Jose Fernandez de Cordova meticulously crafted these illustrations with the intention of founding the city accordingly. It is fascinating to observe how this vision became a reality thirteen years later. The image, captured in the 1920s, is a cigar card from the History of Cuba series by Geografico Universal. Produced as part of a promotional campaign for Susini y La Corona cigars by Tabacalera Cubana, it beautifully encapsulates the rich history and cultural heritage of Cuba. In this monochrome depiction, we can see an intricate plan of Matanzas, showcasing its layout and strategic location near the bay. The black and white aesthetic adds a timeless charm to this seventeenth-century artwork. As we delve into this piece, it becomes evident that colonialism played a significant role in shaping North and Central America during this period. This drawing serves as both historical documentation and artistic representation of Spanish influence in Cuba. The inclusion of Spanish text further emphasizes its origins while providing valuable context for viewers. This print offers us a glimpse into Matanzas' past – an era when art intertwined with settlement planning to create vibrant cities like this one. Overall, this print not only captures an important moment in Cuban history but also highlights the beauty found within early architectural renderings.
