Cuba Libre," or "Free Cuba," was a rallying cry of Cuban independence fighters who fought Spanish colonial rule through the 1890s. The print is dated around 1898, the year of the Spanish-American War, when the United States entered the conflict over Cuba and Spain ceded the island in the Treaty of Paris that December. The record credits the photograph to F.W. Guerin of St. Louis, but the caption details have not been verified, so the exact subject and setting should be read with some caution.
