EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Benjamin Guerra, a prominent Cuban revolutionary during the early 20th century. In this portrait taken in the 1920s, Guerra's stern face reflects his unwavering dedication to his country's cause. Jose Marti, recognizing Guerra's exceptional abilities, appointed him as Treasurer of the Cuban Revolutionary Party. Holding this crucial position for several years, Guerra played a vital role in financing and supporting the rebellion against Spanish colonial rule. However, despite his significant contributions to Cuba's fight for independence, tragedy befell Benjamin Guerra at the end of the war. Overwhelmed by personal struggles or perhaps haunted by the scars of battle, he tragically took his own life. This cigar card from "The History of Cuba" series produced by Geografico Universal serves as a poignant reminder of both Guerra's pivotal role in history and the immense sacrifices made during times of revolution. The monochrome image showcases him dressed impeccably in a suit jacket with an impressive mustache adorning his face—a symbol not only of his profession but also embodying rebellion and resilience. As we gaze upon this powerful portrait today, let us remember Benjamin Guerra as one who dedicated himself wholeheartedly to liberating Cuba from oppression—an individual whose legacy will forever be intertwined with Cuba's tumultuous struggle for freedom.
