EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 17th century, specifically Havana in 1608. The Map of Havana, believed to be crafted by Christopher Rodal, provides a fascinating glimpse into the city's past. At that time, Havana was a bustling hub with a modest population of five hundred inhabitants. The close-up view showcases the intricate details of this historical map. It highlights the bay area and its strategic location as an entrance point to Cuba, emphasizing its significance for trade and shipping industries during that era. This monochrome representation offers a unique perspective on how cartography was approached in the 1920s when this print was created. As we explore this piece further, it becomes evident that colonialism played a significant role in shaping Havana's development. The map serves as both an object of historical interest and a testament to Cuba's complex history. Preserved through time by The Print Collector29, this print is part of the History of Cuba collection produced for Geografico Universal - Propaganda de los Cigarros Susini y La Corona - Tabacalera Cubana. While we admire its beauty and appreciate its cultural value today, let us remember not to mention any commercial use associated with it. In conclusion, this remarkable image invites us to reflect on Havana's rich heritage while appreciating the artistry involved in map-making centuries ago.
