EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Tomas Gener, a prominent figure in Cuban history during the 18th and 19th centuries. Born in Barcelona in 1787, Gener later resided in Matanzas for several years before becoming Deputy to Cortes in 1820. However, his liberal ideas led to persecution in Spain, forcing him to seek refuge in the United States. The portrait captures Gener's dignified presence as he dons a stylish jacket and cravat of the era. His attire reflects both his Spanish heritage and his assimilation into Cuban society. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this image from the 1920s. Gener's passion for progress is evident through his deep interest in Matanzas' development. Sadly, he passed away in 1835 but left behind a legacy that continues to shape Cuba's history. This cigar card from the History of Cuba series by Geografico Universal serves as a reminder of Gener's contributions to politics and liberalism within both Spain and Cuba. It also highlights North and Central America's connection with Cuban culture during this period. Preserved by The Print Collector, this historical artifact provides us with valuable insights into one man's journey amidst political turmoil while shedding light on broader themes such as migration, persecution, and national identity.
