This wood engraving from 1873 captures a moment in time when Cuban exiles were hard at work making cigars in New York. The image shows the skilled workers rolling cigars with precision, using tobacco imported all the way from Cuba. As they focus on their craft, a man hired by them reads aloud, perhaps providing entertainment or news to pass the time.
The scene is rich with history and culture, showcasing the artistry and tradition of cigar-making that has been passed down through generations. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the laborious process of creating these beloved tobacco products.
In an era where smoking addiction was prevalent and tobacco products were highly sought after, this print serves as a reminder of a bygone era when craftsmanship and dedication were valued above all else. The setting in bustling New York City adds another layer of intrigue to the image, highlighting how Cuban culture and traditions had spread far beyond their homeland.
Overall, this print is not just a snapshot of Cuban exiles at work but also a testament to the enduring legacy of cigar-making as an art form cherished around the world.
