EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ruins of Cuabitas in the 1920s, a haunting reminder of the devastating events that unfolded during the Cuban War of Independence. The forces of Duran unleashed their destructive power on this peaceful village on June 8,1895, leaving behind a scene of desolation and despair. The monochrome image transports us to a bygone era, capturing the essence of a country torn apart by war. The crumbling structures stand as silent witnesses to the violence and turmoil that once engulfed these lands. Nature has slowly reclaimed what was lost, with vegetation creeping through broken windows and reclaiming its place amidst fallen debris. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the physical destruction but also of the resilience and strength displayed by those who endured such hardships. It serves as an important historical document, preserving a moment frozen in time for future generations to reflect upon. This print is part of a larger collection known as "History of Cuba" produced by Geografico Universal for Susini y La Corona Cigarros' propaganda campaign. However, let us not dwell on commercial use or branding; instead, let us appreciate it as an artistic representation that allows us to delve into Cuba's past – a testament to human perseverance amidst chaos and devastation.
