EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the courageous figure of Andres Manuel Sanchez, a true hero of Cuba's fight for freedom. Born in 1805, Sanchez conspired alongside Aguero to liberate their homeland from oppression during the early 19th century. However, their valiant efforts were met with imprisonment and ultimately led to their tragic fate. Imprisoned in Puerto Principe, Sanchez and Aguero faced an unjust hanging on March 16th, 1826. Their unwavering dedication to the cause marked them as the first martyrs who selflessly fought for a free Cuba. This powerful image is part of a cigar card series titled "History of Cuba" produced by Geografico Universal and distributed by Susini y La Corona, Tabacalera Cubana. In this portrait captured in the 1920s, we see Andres Manuel Sanchez exuding strength and determination through his piercing gaze. His moustache adds an air of sophistication while his attire reflects the fashion trends of that era – a jacket adorned with a cravat. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of heroism and martyrdom. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, individuals like Andres Manuel Sanchez have sacrificed everything for their country's independence. As we delve into this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, we are transported back to an era where brave souls like Sanchez paved the way for future generations seeking liberty and justice.
