EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and thought-provoking print titled "The Duty of the Hour: - To Save Her [Cuba] Not Only From Spain - But from a Worse Fate" captures the essence of political turmoil and colonialism in 1898. Created by Louis Dalrymple, this colour lithograph depicts Cuba as a woman desperately needing rescue not only from Spanish rule but also from an uncertain future. The image showcases the artist's satirical approach to politics, with Cuba depicted as a damsel in distress caught between two undesirable options - Spain and anarchy. The cartoonish style adds a touch of humor to the serious subject matter, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of colonial power dynamics. Published during the Spanish-American War, this print highlights America's role in saving Cuba from misrule. It cleverly portrays Cuba as being caught between a frying pan (Spain) and fire (anarchy), emphasizing that American intervention is necessary for its salvation. "The Duty of the Hour" serves as both a critique of Spanish colonialism and an appeal for American involvement. It symbolizes America's duty to protect weaker nations against oppressive forces while raising questions about its own intentions in becoming involved overseas. Overall, this artwork offers insight into historical events while showcasing Dalrymple's artistic talent and his ability to convey complex political messages through satire.
