EDITORS COMMENTS
Caney from the Fort, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, El, 1901" is an evocative photograph capturing a breathtaking view of Caney Village and its surrounding fortifications from the vantage point of Santiago de Cuba's fortress in Cuba. The image, created in the early 1900s, showcases the unique architectural blend of Spanish colonial and military influences that characterizes this historic city in eastern Cuba. The fort, a significant military installation during the Spanish colonial period and beyond, stands proudly atop a hill, its walls and turrets silhouetted against the clear blue sky. The village of Caney, nestled at the foot of the hill, is a mosaic of whitewashed houses with red-tiled roofs, their windows reflecting the sunlight like diamonds. The lush greenery of the surrounding countryside completes the idyllic scene. The photograph, a glass negative or dry plate negative, was likely taken by an American photographer, possibly Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both of whom were known to have documented Cuba during this time. The image is part of the extensive collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich cultural and historical heritage it represents. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the United States and Cuba shared a complex and intriguing relationship. It is a poignant reminder of the beauty and history that can be found in the most unexpected places, and the enduring allure of the Caribbean island nation that is Cuba.
