The image depicts a significant moment in history when Spanish troops stationed in the province of Santa Clara, Spain, received a papal benediction before leaving for Cuba. The scene is filled with anticipation as men from various regiments gather in the town of Vittoria. The high ecclesiastic figure blesses the troops, imparting his spiritual guidance and protection upon them as they embark on their mission. This solemn occasion highlights the strong religious influence within military operations during that time. The print captures both the grandeur and somberness of this event.
