EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s, capturing the grandeur of the First University in Cuba. Established by Royal Decree in 1728, this prestigious institution opened its doors in 1735, offering a wide range of subjects including theology, law, medicine, philosophy, mathematics, rhetoric and grammar. The image showcases the university's magnificent architecture against an urban backdrop. The imposing tower stands tall as a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment. As we gaze at the scene before us, we can almost feel the bustling energy of students and professors going about their daily routines. The street leading up to the university is filled with people from all walks of life - locals going about their day or perhaps visitors eager to witness this educational marvel. It provides a glimpse into Cuban society during that era – vibrant and diverse. The photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Cuba's rich history and cultural heritage. It reminds us of Spain's influence on this Caribbean island nation while showcasing its own unique identity. As we admire this vintage print from The History of Cuba collection by Susini y La Corona Cigar Company, it transports us back to an era when education was highly valued and celebrated. This image encapsulates both architectural beauty and intellectual pursuit – two pillars that have shaped Cuba's past and continue to shape its future.
