EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Landing of the Americans in Daiquiri, Cuba, during the Spanish-American War. The year is 1898, and under the command of General William Rufus Shafter, the American army arrives at Daiquiri's shores on June 22nd. As they disembark from their rowing boats onto the sandy beach, they are warmly received by Cuban General Demetrio Castillo. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility as there is no opposition or loss of life reported during this landing. The men stand tall and proud against a picturesque coastal backdrop with boats dotting the crystal-clear waters behind them. This image symbolizes an important milestone in Cuban-American relations, marking America's intervention to support Cuba's fight for independence from Spain. Transported back to the 1920s through this monochrome print, we witness a pivotal moment that shaped both countries' histories. It serves as a reminder of unity between nations and highlights how peaceful resolutions can be achieved even amidst times of conflict. Preserved on a cigar card from "The History of Cuba" this photograph not only documents an event but also represents its era - capturing elements such as transportation methods and military attire specific to early 20th-century America. Through this remarkable piece of visual storytelling, we are transported into history itself - witnessing bravery and camaraderie unfold before our eyes.
