EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s, depicting locals in the Cuban city of Matanzas gathering water from a public spring. The image transports us back to an era before modern infrastructure and conveniences, where access to clean water was a daily challenge for many communities. Matanzas, located on the northern coast of Cuba, has a rich cultural heritage and a history deeply intertwined with the waters that surround it. The city's name translates to "slaughterhouse" in Spanish, a reference to its founding as a center for the sugar industry and the numerous slaughterhouses that processed livestock for the production of this valuable commodity. Despite the challenges of the past, the people of Matanzas have always found ways to come together and support each other. In this photograph, we see a group of women and children filling their containers with water from the public spring, likely the only source of clean water available to them at the time. Their expressions are focused and determined, a testament to their resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity. The United States played a significant role in the history of Matanzas and Cuba as a whole, with American businesses and interests dominating the sugar industry and other sectors of the economy for much of the 20th century. However, this photograph is not about commercial use or external influence. Instead, it is a poignant reminder of the daily struggles and communal spirit of the people of Matanzas, who continue to draw strength and sustenance from the waters that have shaped their city and their lives for generations.
