Khaki uniforms and a field gun set this illustration apart from the other Cuban scenes on the board, placing its crew in the kind of tropical campaign dress that came into use in the late 1890s. Cuba was a focus of the Spanish-American War in 1898, when American forces fought on the island and khaki was adopted for service in hot climates. Painted illustrations like this one were often reproduced in newspapers and magazines of the period, so they shaped how readers at home pictured the fighting. Look closely at the crew's posture and the gun's wheels to get a sense of how artillery was handled in the field.
