EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the vibrant streets of Havana in the 1880s. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the magnificent Havana Cathedral, standing tall with its awe-inspiring baroque facade. Its intricate details and towering presence command attention, showcasing the architectural prowess of a bygone era. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage gracefully passes by, adding an element of movement to this otherwise still scene. The horses are captured mid-stride, their powerful muscles evident as they effortlessly pull the carriage along. These majestic animals epitomize both strength and grace. The bustling square surrounding the cathedral comes alive through this print. People can be seen going about their daily lives, seemingly oblivious to our gaze from another time. This snapshot offers a glimpse into a moment frozen in history - capturing not only architecture but also snippets of everyday life. The inclusion of bell towers adds depth and dimension to this composition while hinting at the importance of religion within Cuban society during that period. It serves as a reminder that beyond its grandeur lies a place for worship and spiritual solace. Ken Welsh's masterful rendering brings forth every intricate detail with remarkable precision, allowing us to appreciate both his skill as an artist and his dedication to preserving historical moments through artistry. This print is truly an exquisite piece that invites viewers on a journey through time – immersing them in Cuba's rich cultural heritage.
