EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the tragic reality of Cuban refugees during the late 19th century. Taken during the Spanish-American War, it depicts a crowd of starving men, women, and children from Santiago desperately seeking food at El Caney in Cuba. The pen and ink drawing by William Glackens beautifully portrays their anguish and desperation. In this heart-wrenching scene, we witness the tragedy that unfolded as a result of war and displacement. These individuals have been stripped of their homes, their livelihoods, and even their basic human needs. Their sunken eyes reflect years of suffering while their frail bodies bear witness to prolonged starvation. The image serves as a haunting reminder of the turn-of-the-century struggles faced by countless refugees around the world. It highlights not only the physical toll but also the emotional turmoil experienced by those forced to flee their homes in search of safety and sustenance. Through this artwork, Glackens brings attention to an often overlooked aspect of war – its impact on innocent civilians caught in its crossfire. This poignant depiction urges us to reflect on our shared humanity and consider how we can alleviate such suffering both then and now. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical photograph with utmost respect for its subject matter.
