This print showcases the majestic Virginius Battleship, a significant vessel in Cuba's history. The image takes us back to the 1920s, capturing the essence of this 19th-century warship that played a crucial role during the Cuban War of Independence. The photograph transports us to a bygone era, where we witness the Virginius sailing through Jamaican waters. In October 31st, 1873, tragedy struck as it was captured by the Spanish vapor tornado. This historic event is immortalized in this monochrome masterpiece. As we gaze at this powerful image, we can almost feel the waves crashing against its sturdy exterior. The billowing smoke from its chimneys adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. It symbolizes not only transportation but also represents a metaphorical journey towards freedom and independence for Cuba. Printed on a cigar card from "The History of Cuba" this artwork serves as both propaganda and historical documentation. Produced by Susini y La Corona Tabacalera Cubana, it captures an important chapter in Cuban history—the Ten Years' War—depicting one of its key vessels.
