EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the arrival of Christopher Columbus in Cuba during the 15th century. Taken in the 1920s, this image showcases Columbus' second trip to the south coast of Cuba when Hernando Cortes arrived in Guaniguanico province. The scene is filled with intrigue as Columbus gathers his crew and cunningly makes them swear on June 12,1494, that they have reached Asian territory. The print originates from a cigar card titled "Colombus when Cortes arrived in Cuba" and was part of the History of Cuba series by Geografico Universal. Produced for propaganda purposes by Susini y La Corona Cigar Company and Tabacalera Cubana, it offers an intriguing glimpse into colonialism and exploration during this era. The composition features an outline map of Cuba overlaid with Spanish text, emphasizing its significance as a Cuban historical artifact. This visual representation symbolizes deceit and manipulation prevalent during that time period. Preserved by The Print Collector29, this image not only serves as a reminder of Christopher Columbus' voyages but also sheds light on the complex history between North and Central America. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and ambition while highlighting the impact these explorations had on shaping our world today.
