Its Spanish title, *La libertad de Cuba* ("The Liberty of Cuba"), frames the island as a cause rather than a landscape, which sets it apart from other Cuba pictures on this board. It dates to about 1875, during the Ten Years' War (1868-1878), when Cuban insurgents fought Spanish colonial rule and American newspapers followed the conflict closely. The record links the print to Kimmel & Voigt, a New York lithography firm, though that attribution is unverified. The image likely reflects American and Cuban sympathy for independence rather than a documentary view of the fighting.
