The illustration depicts the diplomatic exchange between Cuba and Uncle Sam, symbolizing the United States.

Rogers beautifully portrays the evolving relationship between these two nations during the early 20th century.

As we gaze upon this piece of artistry from North Wind Picture Archives, we are reminded of the significance of trade relations and their impact on global affairs. This historic print encapsulates both cultural heritage and political dynamics while celebrating the spirit of independence embodied by Cuba Libre – free Cuba!
