EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pedro Agustin Morell de Santa Cruz, a prominent figure in Cuban history. Born in 1694, he held several esteemed positions throughout his life, including Bishop of Havana and Dean of the Cathedral of Santiago de Cuba. Notably, he was the first Roman Catholic bishop to venture into the British colonies. During his time as bishop, Morell witnessed significant events that shaped Cuba's past. He chronicled these experiences through two historical works: "Historia de la Isla y Catedral de Cuba" (Havana, 1766) and "Relacion de las tentativas de los Ingleses en America" (1767). These writings provide invaluable insights into the attempts made by the English on American soil. Bishop Morell's contributions to Cuban society were so profound that a street in Old Havana was named after him as a tribute to his legacy. His commitment to religion and dedication to documenting important events earned him respect both within and outside of religious circles. This print captures not only an influential man but also serves as a reminder of Cuba's rich history. It is a testament to Bishop Morell's pious nature and intellectual prowess as an author and historian. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the remarkable life of Pedro Agustin Morell de Santa Cruz – a man who left an indelible mark on Cuban culture and spirituality.
