EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Cuban Headquarters at Daiquiri during the Spanish-American War in June 1898. Taken by Burr McIntosh, an American actor and journalist, this image is part of his book "The Little I saw of Cuba" where he documented his experiences as a reporter and photographer during the war. In the photograph, we see a wooden building with a veranda overlooking a picturesque landscape. The headquarters flag proudly flies high above the structure, symbolizing the unity between American and Cuban troops in their fight against Spanish forces. This historic moment marked an important turning point in the conflict. Daiquiri, a small village near Santiago de Cuba, became a strategic location for both sides involved in the war. It was here that American and Cuban troops launched their attack on Spanish soldiers stationed in this area. McIntosh's lens captured not only the physical surroundings but also conveyed a sense of determination and anticipation felt by those who fought for freedom. As we gaze upon this image from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals who sought to bring about change. McIntosh's work immortalizes this significant event in history while showcasing his talent as both writer and photographer.
