EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle of Coliseo, which took place in 1895 during the Cuban War of Independence. The scene depicts a significant moment in history when General Jose Miguel Gomez and Lieutenant General Antonio de la Caridad Maceo y Grajales led their Cuban troops to victory against Martinez Campos' forces. The image showcases the violent nature of war as horses gallop across the battlefield, surrounded by towering palm trees and burning sugar cane fields. It symbolizes both the beauty and devastation that often accompany conflicts fought on native soil. In this monochrome snapshot from the 1920s, one can almost feel the tension and adrenaline that filled the air during this crucial battle. The determination on each soldier's face reflects their unwavering commitment to liberating Cuba from Spanish rule. As Martines Campos realizes he cannot contain their advancement nor prevent further destruction, he is forced to retreat back to Havana. This triumph for the Cubans marks a turning point in their fight for independence. Preserved as a cigar card in "The History of Cuba" collection, this print serves as a reminder of Cuba's turbulent past while honoring those who fought bravely for freedom. It stands as a testament to resilience, courage, and national pride within this Caribbean country's rich history.
