EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Palma, (1896), 1920s" takes us back in time to a significant moment in Cuban history. The image showcases the picturesque village of La Palma, where on March 29th, 1896, Lieutenant General Antonio de la Caridad Maceo y Grajales led an attack that resulted in the capture of one hundred and forty soldiers. The scene depicts a serene countryside with rolling hills and a winding road leading through the village. The buildings stand tall against the backdrop, telling stories of resilience and strength amidst war. This snapshot captures not only the physical landscape but also encompasses the spirit of Cuba during this tumultuous period. As we delve into this monochrome photograph from the 1920s, we are transported to a bygone era filled with bravery and determination. It serves as a reminder of Cuba's fight for independence during the late nineteenth century. Preserved on a cigar card from "The History of Cuba" this print holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It was part of an effort by Susini y La Corona Cigar Company to promote their brand while commemorating key moments in Cuban history. With its rich historical context and timeless beauty, this print is more than just an image; it is a testament to Cuba's struggle for freedom and serves as an important artifact connecting us to our past.
