EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the town of Christ in 1895, during the tumultuous years of Cuba's struggle for independence. General Antonio Maceo, a key figure in this historic conflict, led an attack on the village on May 7th of that year. The image shows the aftermath of this assault, with the town engulfed in flames and its facade bearing witness to destruction. Amidst the chaos, we see a group of people gathered outside one of the buildings. Among them is a man who stands tall amidst the ruins, his presence exuding resilience and determination. His gaze reflects both sorrow for what has been lost and unwavering hope for a brighter future. The monochrome tones add depth to this powerful snapshot from history, emphasizing not only the physical devastation but also symbolizing the stark contrast between light and darkness during those turbulent times. This print is part of a cigar card series titled "History of Cuba" produced by Geografico Universal as propaganda for Susini y La Corona cigars. It serves as a reminder that even amid commercial endeavors, historical events can be captured and preserved through art. As we contemplate this image today, it prompts us to reflect on how wars shape nations and individuals alike. It invites us to honor those who fought bravely for their freedom while reminding us never to forget our past struggles as we strive towards peace and progress in our own time.
