EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Pascual Cervera y Topete (1839-1909), a renowned Spanish admiral who played a significant role in the Spanish-American War. The image, created by the skilled hand of Spanish artist Arturo Carretero (1852-1903), was published in the prestigious Spanish and American Illustration magazine in 1890. Admiral Cervera's distinguished military career began in the Spanish Army, but he later transferred to the Spanish Navy. His impressive leadership abilities were demonstrated during the Cuban Wars of Independence, where he successfully commanded the Spanish squadron in the Caribbean. In the Spanish-American War, Cervera famously led the Spanish fleet in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, which resulted in a Spanish defeat. Despite this loss, Cervera's tenacity and strategic prowess earned him admiration from both his enemies and allies. In this engraving, Cervera is depicted as a bearded, middle-aged man with a stern yet determined expression. He wears the uniform of a Spanish admiral, complete with a wide-brimmed hat adorned with gold trim. The intricate details of his uniform and the rich colors used in the engraving highlight the artistic skill of Carretero. The portrait captures the political and historical significance of Cervera's life and military career, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Spanish and American history.
