EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving from 1868 showcases the majestic El Moro Castle, standing proudly at the entrance of Havana's harbor in Cuba. The fortress, known as Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro in Spanish, has been a symbol of strength and resilience for centuries. The image captures the castle's impressive exterior, with its sturdy walls rising against the backdrop of a picturesque coastline. Its strategic location made it an essential defense point during colonial times when Spain ruled over this vibrant Latin American colony. El Moro Castle played a significant role in protecting Havana from invaders and pirates who sought to seize control of its valuable harbor. This engraving offers us a glimpse into the past, reminding us of Cuba's rich history and its enduring ties to Spanish influence. As we admire this historical print, we can't help but imagine what life was like within those fortifications during that era. The Granger Collection has beautifully preserved this piece of art, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance.
