EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the departure of the American army for Cuba in 1898. In the 1920s, this image was immortalized on a cigar card as part of the History of Cuba series by Geografico Universal, distributed by Susini y La Corona, Tabacalera Cubana. The photograph showcases an impressive sight: 800 chiefs and 16,000 soldiers embarking on their journey from Tampa Bay, Florida. Guarded by a fleet of 16 warships, they set sail on June 14th and arrived at Daiquiri on the 21st. The image exudes patriotism and determination as these brave men wave goodbye to their homeland. Transportation plays a crucial role in this historical event; it symbolizes power and mobility. The ships' rigging stands tall against the backdrop of clear skies and calm waters. This scene represents not only physical movement but also signifies America's commitment to its ideals during times of conflict. The Spanish-American War serves as the backdrop for this powerful image. It reminds us of America's involvement in global affairs during that era while highlighting its military might. Preserved through time, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in American history – one filled with courage, sacrifice, and national pride. As we observe this piece today, we are reminded of our past achievements while reflecting upon how far we have come as a nation since those tumultuous times.
