EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s, showcasing the majestic Atares Castle in Havana, Cuba. Built in 1764 by Don Antonio Maria Bucarelli, the Governor of the island at that time, this impressive structure stands as a testament to Cuban history and architectural brilliance. The castle's fortified walls and grand entrance evoke a sense of strength and defense, reminding us of its crucial role in protecting the city during times of war. The ladder leaning against one side adds an intriguing touch, hinting at stories of brave soldiers who once climbed it to guard their beloved homeland. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless beauty of this eighteenth-century masterpiece. Every detail on its facade speaks volumes about colonial-era craftsmanship and design. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a different era altogether. This print is not just a visual delight; it also holds historical significance. Originally featured on a cigar card from "History of Cuba" produced by Geografico Universal for Susini y La Corona Cigar Company, it served as both an educational tool and promotional material for tobacco enthusiasts. Now preserved by The Print Collector29 collection, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also the cultural heritage embedded within them. It serves as a reminder that behind every building lies tales waiting to be discovered - stories that shape our understanding of cities like Havana and their rich pasts.
