EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The bombs of Sampson Squadron, (1898), 1920s" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Spanish-American War. The image captures the aftermath of a devastating bombardment carried out by the American Squadron on July 6th, 1898. The streets of Santiago de Cuba lay in ruins as bombs exploded around them. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see an urban road filled with chaos and destruction. Amidst the debris, brave men can be seen running for cover or attending to injured individuals. A sense of urgency and action permeates the scene as they navigate through this war-torn avenue. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. It transports us back to a pivotal moment when naval warfare played a crucial role in shaping world events. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the human cost of conflict and highlights Admiral William Thomas Sampson's strategic role in leading his squadron during this intense period. As we observe this piece from our vantage point in the present day, it allows us to reflect on how far we have come since those tumultuous times while also acknowledging that history has shaped our world today.
