A sepia wash drawing of a skirmish shows men lying where they fell beside abandoned rifles, its brown tones giving the scene a dusty, faded quality. Scenes like this belong to Cuba's long struggle against Spanish colonial rule in the nineteenth century, when independence fighting, notably the Ten Years' War and the later War of Independence, drew heavy fighting into the countryside. Wash drawings like this were often made to be reproduced in illustrated newspapers and magazines, which relied on engravers and artists before photographic printing became common. Look closely at the figures and weapons, which tell a story of the fighting's cost.
