EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stern countenance of Hernando de Soto, a prominent figure in Cuban history during the 16th century. In this portrait, taken in the 1920s, De Soto's face reflects both determination and weariness as he gazes into the distance. His thick beard and distinguished moustache frame his resolute expression, while his piercing eyes hint at a man who has witnessed much strife. De Soto's significance lies not only in his role as governor of Fernandina island but also in his arrival on June 7th, 1538 - a time when Cuba was plagued by relentless pirate attacks. This historical context adds depth to the image, revealing the dismay felt by the Cuban people during that tumultuous era. Clad in an impressive suit of armor and armed with weapons befitting a conquistador, De Soto embodies strength and power. The sword he holds firmly symbolizes his commitment to protect Cuba from its enemies. As we delve into this monochrome depiction of De Soto, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in North and Central American colonialism. Through this cigar card from Geografico Universal's History of Cuba series, we glimpse into a chapter where Spain's influence intertwined with Cuba's destiny. The print collector29 has masterfully preserved this piece of history for us to admire today—a testament to both their passion for heritage preservation and our collective fascination with figures like Hernando de Soto.
