Remington In Cuba for 'Collier's Weekly'
1899
Frederic Remington, the artist who defined the American West, packed his bags for Havana in 1898 to cover the Spanish-American War as a correspondent for Collier's Weekly. This bold poster advertises his dispatches, featuring a confident soldier—resembling a 'Rough Rider'—leaning on a rifle with his bedroll ready for action. You can even see his signature 'Havana Cuba' in the bottom right corner, proving he was right there in the thick of it to bring the action back to American readers.
