EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 17th century, showcasing the Old Arsenal and shipyard in Havana, Cuba. The image captures a moment frozen in history, revealing the architectural beauty of this ancient structure. Built by Royal Order on April 16th, 1617, the Arsenal served as a crucial defense stronghold for the country. Its construction was completed in 1724 after years of dedicated work. Adjacent to it stands the shipyard, established in 1630 by Alonso de Ferrera and Juan Perez de Porto. Together, these structures symbolize Cuba's rich maritime heritage. The photograph showcases an exterior view of both sites bustling with activity. People can be seen going about their daily lives - women elegantly dressed alongside men engaged in various tasks. Horses pull carts filled with supplies through a courtyard that exudes historical charm. This monochrome snapshot transports us to a different era when warfare relied heavily on weaponry like those produced within these walls. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times while highlighting Cuba's resilience throughout centuries. Preserved on a cigar card from "History of Cuba" this print serves as a testament to its cultural significance. It reminds us that behind every piece of architecture lies stories waiting to be discovered and shared with future generations.
