EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Dr. Tomas Romay, a distinguished doctor who made significant contributions to the field of medicine in 19th century Havana, Cuba. Born in 1799, Dr. Romay was a visionary who advocated for the construction of cemeteries outside villages and played a pivotal role in establishing one in Havana itself. His groundbreaking work extended beyond cemetery planning; he also introduced the first vaccine to Cuba in 1804, revolutionizing healthcare practices on the island. Sadly, his life was cut short when he passed away in 1849. In this portrait captured during the 1920s, we see Dr. Tomas Romay exuding an air of wisdom and authority befitting his profession. The embroidered details on his attire add an elegant touch to his appearance. This image not only represents an individual but also symbolizes the progress and advancements made by Cuban doctors during that era. It serves as a reminder of their dedication to improving public health and combating diseases through immunization. Preserved as a cigar card from "The History of Cuba" series by Geografico Universal and Propaganda de los Cigarros Susini y La Corona, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both historical colonialism and North American influence on Cuban culture at that time. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate Dr. Tomas Romay's pioneering spirit and lasting impact on medicine while acknowledging the broader context within which he operated - shaping not just lives but also history itself.
