EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the warships blocking the coast of Cuba in 1898. The image, taken during the 1920s, showcases Admiral William Thomas Sampson leading his squadron on April 23rd, as they strategically position themselves between Bahia Honda and Cardenas from the North, and Cienfuegos from the South. The photograph provides a glimpse into this monumental event during the Spanish-American War, where these imposing warships served as guardians of Cuban shores. With its monochrome tones adding an air of nostalgia, it transports us back to a time when transportation by water was pivotal for military operations. The print originates from a cigar card series titled "History of Cuba" produced by Geografico Universal for Susini y La Corona's tobacco company. It not only serves as an artistic representation but also highlights how historical events were often commemorated through various mediums. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Cuba's geographical features with its stunning coastline and hilly terrain visible in the background. This image encapsulates both power and resilience while offering insight into one chapter of Cuba's rich history.
