EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, specifically to the foundation of Baracoa in Cuba. The image showcases a significant moment in history when Christopher Columbus arrived at Baracoa on November 27th, 1492, followed by Diego Velazquez founding it in 1512. This city holds great historical importance as not only is it the oldest city in Cuba but also its first capital. In this snapshot from the 1920s, we see a scene filled with transportation and exploration. A group of men can be seen rowing boats near a sailing ship docked on the island's shore. It provides a glimpse into how people traveled and discovered new lands during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to this photograph print. It reminds us of the colonial period and highlights the impact of European conquest on North and Central America. This piece is part of a larger collection known as "History of Cuba" produced by Geografico Universal for Susini y La Corona Cigarros Tabacalera Cubana. While appreciating its artistic value, let us remember that this caption does not mention any commercial use or affiliation with any company; instead, it invites viewers to delve into Cuban history through this evocative image captured by The Print Collector.
