EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in Cuban history - the landing of General Calixto Garcia and his 19 men at a sawmill on the south coast of Santiago de Cuba in May 1890. The image showcases the aftermath of a war that was already dying out, as General Garcia disembarks from a boat onto the coastal terrain. This courageous act would ultimately lead to his capture and subsequent exile to Spain. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this historical scene, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. It transports us back to the early 20th century, allowing us to witness firsthand an important event during Cuba's struggle for independence. The photograph not only highlights General Garcia's bravery but also serves as a reminder of Cuba's fight for freedom against colonial forces. It symbolizes resilience, determination, and sacrifice in pursuit of national sovereignty. This print is part of a cigar card series titled "History of Cuba" by Geografico Universal, produced by Susini y La Corona Tabacalera Cubana. Its inclusion in this collection demonstrates how art can be used as propaganda to commemorate pivotal moments in history while promoting cultural identity. As we admire this powerful image, let us remember those who fought valiantly for their country's independence and honor their legacy within Cuban history.
