EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Invasion of Cuba during the Spanish-American War. The image depicts the landing of artillery from the mighty "Iroquois" naval vessel onto Cuban soil, showcasing the sheer power and precision of maritime weapons. The lithograph, created by Samuel Begg after an original illustration for The Illustrated London News, transports us back to July 16th, 1898. As troops from both the navy and army work together seamlessly, this scene showcases their unwavering determination and unity in achieving victory. The "Flat" a crucial component in this operation, is prominently featured in the foreground. This ingenious device allowed for smooth transportation of heavy artillery from ship to shore. Its presence symbolizes not only military innovation but also highlights the strategic brilliance employed during this conflict. As we gaze upon this historic engraving now preserved within a private collection, we are reminded of the bravery exhibited by those involved in this campaign. From naval forces aboard the "Iroquois" to soldiers on land readying themselves for battle, each individual played a vital role in securing success. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have been granted access to relive these significant moments that shaped our world forever. It serves as a testament to human resilience and reminds us of our shared history as we continue striving towards peace and progress.
