EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Cuban history - the burning of a sugar refinery during the 1870s. In an act of rebellion against Spanish colonial rule, Cubans set fire to numerous refineries as a means to deprive revenue from the government of Spain. The image showcases the chaos and panic that ensued, with billowing black smoke filling the air. The scene is filled with men on horseback, representing the brave resistance fighters who sought freedom for their country. Their determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to revolution and independence. The towering refinery building stands as a symbol of Spanish colonialism, now engulfed in flames. Taken in the 1920s, this monochrome photograph provides us with an elevated view of the destruction caused by these acts of defiance. It serves as a reminder of Cuba's turbulent past and its relentless struggle for autonomy. Preserved on a cigar card from "The History of Cuba" this print not only documents an important chapter in Cuban history but also highlights how tobacco played a role in propaganda efforts during that time period. This powerful image evokes emotions and invites contemplation about war, rebellion, industry, and national identity. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that sometimes drastic measures are taken when fighting for freedom and justice.
