EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ramon de la Sacra, a prominent figure in 19th-century Cuba. With his bald head, distinguished beard, and intense gaze, he exudes an air of wisdom and intellectual prowess. As a Gallego publicist born in 1798, de la Sacra made significant contributions to various fields throughout his life. After arriving in Havana in 1821, de la Sacra delivered a memorable speech on botanics that left audiences captivated by his knowledge. His polemic arguments with Saco regarding the poems of Heredia showcased his passion for literature and deep understanding of Cuban culture. De la Sacra's most notable achievement was the publication of "Natural History and Politics of Cuba" between 1838-1857. This groundbreaking book, written in collaboration with a French naturalist, shed light on the rich biodiversity and political landscape of Cuba. However, its creation came at a high cost to the treasury - an astounding sum of 70 thousand pesos. As an anarchist writer and polemicist during this era marked by political unrest, de la Sacra played an influential role in shaping public opinion. His commitment to advocating for change through literature earned him recognition as one of Cuba's foremost intellectuals. This historic cigar card from "The History of Cuba" series serves as both a testament to Ramon de la Sacra's legacy and a reminder of the vibrant cultural tapestry that defined early 20th-century Cuba.
