EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Hernan Cortes, a prominent figure in Spanish history during the 16th century. Born in Medellin, he later became the mayor of Santiago village before embarking on one of Spain's most famous expeditions to conquer Mexico. Pursued by order of Velazquez, Cortes managed to escape Cuba and set his sights on this new world. The image captures Cortes in his distinguished attire, exuding an air of authority and determination. His gaze is fixed upon something beyond the frame, perhaps symbolizing his unwavering focus as an explorer. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this portrait from the 1920s. Titled "Hernan Cortes" this cigar card is part of a series called "History of Cuba" produced by Geografico Universal for Susini y La Corona Cigar Company. It serves as both a historical memento and propaganda piece for these tobacco brands associated with Tabacalera Cubana. This print not only commemorates an influential individual but also reflects broader themes such as colonialism, imperialism, and conquest that shaped the course of history during that era. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us of the significant impact individuals like Hernan Cortes had on shaping nations and cultures across continents centuries ago.
