EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of The Perrit expedition in Cuban waters. Commanded by American General Thomas Jordan, this monumental event took place on March 11th, 1869. The image showcases Nipe Bay, located on the peninsula of Ramon, as the backdrop for this historic landing. The photograph depicts a scene shrouded in darkness, emphasizing the clandestine nature of this spy expedition during the Cuban War of Independence. The ships' masts pierce through the night sky, symbolizing hope and determination amidst uncertain times. With its monochrome aesthetic, every detail is etched with an air of mystery and intrigue. Transportation plays a crucial role in this narrative; it highlights how these vessels served as conduits for change and revolution. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time from the 1920s, we are transported back to an era when Cuba was fighting for its freedom against colonial powers. This print not only serves as a historical document but also evokes emotions associated with bravery and resilience. It reminds us that even during dark times, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. This image stands as a testament to human courage and serves as a reminder that progress often comes at great cost.
