EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a chilling moment in Cuban history - the garrotte of an inmate. Taken in the 1920s, this image harks back to a dark period during the late 19th century when banditry plagued the provinces of Pinar del Rio, Matanzas, and Santa Clara. In response to this growing menace, General Marin declared these regions under siege in 1888. The garrotte was a brutal form of execution used at that time, and hundreds of men met their demise through this method. The crowd gathered outside bears witness to this grim spectacle as they watch on with somber expressions. This print is part of a series called "History of Cuba" by Geografico Universal, commissioned as propaganda for Cigarros Susini y La Corona from Tabacalera Cubana. It serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by prisoners and criminals during those turbulent years. The monochrome aesthetic adds an eerie quality to the scene, emphasizing both the gravity and historical significance captured within its frame. As we reflect upon this image today, it stands as a testament to Cuba's complex past - one marked by lawlessness, military interventions, and struggles for independence. It is through such visual records that we gain insight into our collective history and strive towards building a more just future.
