EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Havanna (engraving)" takes us back in time to the bustling city of Havana in the 19th century. The engraving, created by Richard Principal Leitch, offers a glimpse into the rich topography and vibrant life of this Cuban capital. The image showcases a panoramic view that encompasses various elements that defined Havana's landscape during that era. From the iconic El Moro fortress standing tall on the coastline to sprawling sugar and coffee plantations dotting the outskirts, every detail tells a story of Cuba's economic prosperity at the time. Intricate details capture our attention as we observe barracks housing soldiers, tobacco plantations flourishing under sunny skies, and even a majestic cathedral towering over Havana's skyline. A lighthouse stands as a guiding beacon for ships entering its busy port while HMS Lapwing sails gracefully along the coast. The coastal charm is further enhanced by pristine shorelines meeting with crystal-clear waters. This maritime scene evokes feelings of tranquility and adventure simultaneously. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, it becomes evident why it was chosen for publication in The Illustrated London News back in March 1859. It not only provides an accurate depiction but also invites viewers to immerse themselves in Havana's unique atmosphere from centuries ago. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved an invaluable piece of art history through this remarkable photo print, allowing us to appreciate and learn from our past.
