EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the heroic figure of Narciso Lopez, a prominent historical figure in Cuban history. Taken in the 1920s, this image showcases Lopez standing tall and proud, holding a flag that symbolizes his country's fight for liberation. Dressed in a distinguished uniform, he exudes an air of courage and determination. Narciso Lopez was known for his adventurous spirit and played a significant role in Cuba's struggle for independence during the 19th century. He embarked on a treacherous journey with five hundred men aboard the Pampero fleet, landing near Playitas near the Honda bay on August 12th, 1851. Among his loyal followers were forty-four Cubans who shared his vision of freedom. The photo highlights Lopez as both an adventurer and liberator. It portrays him as someone willing to risk everything to free his homeland from oppression. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this powerful image. This historic cigar card is part of "The History of Cuba" collection by Geografico Universal, which aimed to promote Cuban culture through tobacco advertising. It serves as a reminder of not only Narciso Lopez's bravery but also the rich heritage of Cuba itself. Preserved by The Print Collector29 under their North and Central America collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into one man's extraordinary journey towards emancipation – an enduring testament to the indomitable spirit that shaped Cuban history.
