The title, *The Last Stroke*, frames the scene as a decisive final blow, and its subtitle places it within Cuba's fight for freedom from Spain. Cuban insurgents waged two major independence wars: the Ten Years' War from 1868 to 1878, and a second uprising beginning in 1895 that ended in 1898, after the United States entered the conflict and Spain relinquished its claim to the island. A title like this one suggests an illustration made to tell that story as a dramatic narrative of liberation, so it is worth looking at how the artist turns a long, grinding war into a single climactic moment.
