EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, taken between 1899 and 1926 by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases two distinct yet intriguing travel views: one of Havana, Cuba, and the other of an equestrian statue in Guatemala. In Havana, the image reveals the grandeur of the city's architecture, with the prominent feature being the equestrian statue of Antonio Maceo Grajales. Domenico Boni sculpted this bronze monument in 1916, and it stands as a testament to the heroic figure of Maceo, a Cuban national hero. The inscription on the statue reads, "Capitan Famoso - Patriota Intachable - Caudillo de los Valientes - Su Valentia Igualo a su Lealtad - Julio 14 1845 - Diciembre 7 1896," translating to "Famous captain - impeccable patriot - leader of the brave - his valour equal to his loyalty." The second part of the photograph reveals a statue of an unidentified hero on horseback, located in Guatemala. The image is reminiscent of the era, with the horse and rider appearing strong and proud. The photograph captures the essence of the 1910s and 1920s, a time of change and progress in Central America. Arnold Genthe's collection, held at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history and heritage of Cuba and Guatemala during this period. The photograph is a testament to the power of art and photography in preserving history and transporting us to another time and place.
