EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the City of Baracoa in the 1920s, a place steeped in history and resilience. The image showcases a cluster of buildings, their rooftops creating an intricate pattern against the sky. As we delve into its backstory, we learn that this city was not only known for its picturesque charm but also for enduring a significant event during the Cuban War of Independence. In January 1897, Colonel Demetrio Castillo sent Cubans to attack Baracoa as part of this tumultuous conflict. This particular print is derived from a cigar card found in the History of Cuba collection by Geografico Universal, which was used as propaganda by Susini y La Corona Cigar Company. It serves as a testament to how even amidst war and turmoil, art can be utilized for various purposes. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to this snapshot frozen in time. We are transported to an era where life unfolded at a different pace; where every building held stories within its walls. The print collector responsible for preserving this piece has allowed us to glimpse into both the architectural beauty and historical significance of Baracoa. As we gaze upon this image, let us reflect on how cities like Baracoa have withstood challenges throughout centuries while remaining resilient symbols of culture and heritage.
