EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Cuban history - the Invasion of Guaimaro in 1873. Taken in the 1920s, this image showcases the exterior of a building surrounded by people, both civilians and soldiers. The atmosphere is charged with patriotism as the Cuban flag proudly waves in the background. Led by General Calixto Garcia, a formidable force of 1,400 soldiers entered Guaimaro on November 10th, 1873. Their mission was to capture this strategic location during the Ten Years' War for Cuba's independence from Spain. In October 1896, another invasion took place under General Menocal's command, further solidifying their victory. One notable figure who distinguished himself during this battle was Commander Luis Rodolfo Miranda. His bravery and leadership played a crucial role in securing success for his comrades-in-arms. This historic photograph is part of a cigar card series called "History of Cuba" produced by Geografico Universal for Susini y La Corona Cigar Company. It serves as both an educational tool and propaganda piece to commemorate Cuba's struggle for freedom. As we gaze upon this monochrome image from the early twentieth century, it transports us back to a time when courage and determination shaped nations. The print collector responsible for preserving this slice of history has allowed us to witness firsthand one chapter in Cuba's long journey towards independence.
