EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving takes us back to Havana, Cuba in the year 1851. The print showcases the entrance to Havana from the Puerto del Principe, offering a glimpse into the bustling harbor and fort that guarded this vibrant city. The intricate details of the engraving transport us to a time when Havana was at its prime as an important trading port in Latin America. The scene captures the essence of colonial Cuba, with its charming architecture and picturesque views. The fort stands tall against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, symbolizing strength and protection for this island nation. Ships can be seen docked at the harbor, ready to embark on their voyages across oceans. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of Havana's rich cultural heritage and its significance as a hub for trade and commerce during that era. This print serves as a window into a bygone era - one where horse-drawn carriages roamed these streets and people went about their daily lives amidst such breathtaking scenery. The Granger Collection has beautifully captured this moment in time through their meticulous wood engraving technique. It is truly remarkable how art can transport us across centuries and continents, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and human ingenuity in creating such magnificent structures like those found within Havana's cityscape.
