EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "St. Paul in Bay, firing over Top of Hill. . . June 24th, Spanish-American War" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by the talented American actor and journalist William Burr McIntosh during his coverage of the war for "Leslies Weekly" this image transports us to the intense battlefields of Cuba. In this striking photograph, we witness the mighty American liner SS Saint Paul unleashing its firepower upon the Spanish cruiser Isabel II during the second battle of San Juan. The scene is set against a picturesque coastal backdrop, with hills rising majestically behind them. Amidst the chaos and smoke, brave soldiers from the First Regiment of Volunteer Cavalry, famously known as Rough Riders, fight valiantly on foot while others take cover within their tents at camp. The courage and determination etched on their faces are a testament to their unwavering commitment to protect their country. McIntosh's expert composition captures both action and emotion in a single frame. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these men who fought for freedom and justice during one of America's defining conflicts. This remarkable print not only preserves an important historical event but also showcases McIntosh's exceptional skills as both a reporter and photographer.
