EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Inauguration of Beneficence in 18th century Cuba, taken in the 1920s. The image showcases a grand procession outside the Casa de la Beneficencia, a significant creation by Don Luis de las Casas that still stands today. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we are transported back to a time when colonial charm and noble causes intertwined. The photograph offers an elevated view of the event, allowing us to witness the bustling crowd gathered on this momentous day. People from all walks of life have come together to celebrate this act of charity, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. Horses stand gracefully amidst the throng, adding an element of majesty to the scene. The composition beautifully captures both the architectural splendor of Casa de la Beneficencia and its surrounding environment. We can almost feel ourselves standing among these spectators as they bear witness to history unfolding before their eyes. This remarkable cigar card from Geografico Universal's History of Cuba series serves as a testament to not only Cuban heritage but also philanthropy's enduring power throughout centuries. It reminds us that acts of kindness can leave lasting legacies for generations to come.
