EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print titled ""War is Hell"- Sherman, Peace in Cuba under Spanish Rule is Worse Than Hell" captures the haunting reality of the Spanish-American War. Created by Grant E. Hamilton in 1898, this illustration from Judge magazine serves as a scathing commentary on the atrocities committed during this conflict. The image depicts a chilling scene where a demonic figure representing war stands amidst a backdrop of skulls and dripping blood. The devilish creature holds a flag symbolizing both American intervention and Spanish rule over Cuba. In the foreground, we see victims of warfare - soldiers and civilians alike - their faces etched with despair. Hamilton's use of vivid colors adds to the intensity of his message, emphasizing the depravity and suffering caused by war. Through this allegorical representation, he highlights that peace under Spanish rule in Cuba was even worse than hell itself. This artwork not only serves as a historical document but also reminds us of the consequences when nations engage in armed conflicts for political gain or control. It prompts reflection on how power dynamics can lead to immense human suffering. Preserved at the New-York Historical Society, this piece offers an important glimpse into one chapter of our shared history – one that should never be forgotten or repeated again.
