EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Juan de Grijalba, a renowned explorer of the 16th century. Born in 1489, Grijalba embarked on numerous expeditions alongside notable explorers such as Hernandez de Cordova, Velasquez, and Marvaes. In 1518, he departed from Santiago of Cuba on a daring voyage that would forever change the course of history. Grijalba's remarkable journey led him to the discovery of Yuentan, an uncharted land shrouded in mystery. This portrait captures his rugged yet distinguished appearance; his face adorned with a well-groomed moustache and wearing a hat that speaks volumes about his Spanish heritage. The monochrome image exudes an air of colonialism and conquest prevalent during this era. The chain around Grijalba's neck symbolizes both power and authority as he navigates unexplored territories on behalf of Spain. Printed in the 1920s as part of "The History of Cuba" series by Geografico Universal for Susini y La Corona Cigar Company, this cigar card serves as a testament to Grijalba's significant role in shaping Cuban history. It is not just a mere depiction but also an homage to one man's relentless pursuit for knowledge and adventure. As we gaze upon this intriguing photograph today, it transports us back to the vibrant landscapes explored by Juan de Grijalba centuries ago. His legacy lives on through images like
