EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Spanish sentinel watching the coastlines of Cuba during the American Hispano War in 1898. The sentinel is perched high up in an observation post nestled within the canopy of a towering coconut tree, providing them with a strategic vantage point to prevent any attempts by American troops to debark on Cuban soil. The engraving, featured in "Le petit journal" on December 6th, 1898, showcases the dedication and resourcefulness of this Spanish soldier as they diligently keep watch over their homeland. The image is part of the Selva Collection and was captured by Fortune Louis Meaulle (1844-1901), adding historical significance to its portrayal. Intriguingly, this photograph highlights not only the military aspect but also offers insights into nature's role in warfare. The use of a coconut tree as an observation post demonstrates how soldiers adapted to their surroundings and utilized natural resources for tactical advantage. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills have immortalized this moment from history, allowing us to reflect upon the struggles faced by both sides during this conflict for Cuban independence. As we gaze at this print today, we are reminded of the bravery displayed by those who fought for their beliefs and defended their land against foreign intervention.
