EDITORS COMMENTS
The Morro Castle, a majestic fortress standing tall against the coastal backdrop of Cuba. This print takes us back to the year 1587 when Juan de Tejada and Juan Bautista Antonelli carefully selected this strategic location for Castillo del Morro. Construction began in March 1589, marking the birth of an architectural marvel that has withstood the test of time. In this monochrome image from the 1920s, we witness the grandeur of Morro Castle's exterior as it proudly overlooks the sea. The flag fluttering in the gentle breeze symbolizes Cuba's rich history and resilience. Its towering presence serves as a reminder of its fortification purpose during earlier centuries. The black and white tones add a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from North and Central America's geographical features. As we explore every detail, we can't help but appreciate how seamlessly this sixteenth-century castle blends into twentieth-century surroundings. This particular print is part of 'The History of Cuba' cigar card collection by Geografico Universal, produced by Susini y La Corona Tabacalera Cubana. However, let us not focus on its commercial use but rather on its ability to transport us through time and immerse ourselves in Cuban heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by The Print Collector29, our imagination wanders within these walls steeped in stories untold.
