EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Punta Castle, a historical gem that stands tall in Havana, Cuba. Constructed in March 1589 under the supervision of Captain Juan de Tejada, this formidable fortress served as a crucial defense point for the port entries. The print beautifully captures the intricate architecture and solid fortifications of Punta Castle, highlighting its significance during colonial times. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to this image from the 1920s, transporting us back to a bygone era. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how well-preserved Punta Castle appears even after centuries have passed. The photograph was originally featured on a cigar card from "History of Cuba" series by Geografico Universal and Susini y La Corona Cigars' propaganda campaign. However, it is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use or affiliation with these companies. As we admire this architectural masterpiece against the backdrop of Havana's cityscape, we are reminded of both Cuba's rich history and its enduring beauty. This print serves as a testament to the resilience and grandeur of Punta Castle – an iconic symbol that continues to stand strong amidst changing times.
