CHARGE OF THE COLORED TROOPS - SAN JUAN.
James Lee Co., Chicago: 1907. Identified with title (but not artist), copyright notice, and a number (3636) in small type along the lower edge. In the battle scene, blue and brown uniformed African-American troops on foot attack white uniformed Spanish defenders with rockets bursting and flags overhead, while dead and wounded men lie or struggle along the road in the foreground. The military unit is unidentified, but in the Spanish-American War, black soldiers of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalries successfully led the attack of 1 to 3 July 1898, seized the hills of San Juan and El Caney, overcoming the Spanish defense of Santiago, Cuba, and quickly ended the war. We have been unable to locate a record of another copy of this print or any information about the James Lee Company, except that they issued prints on various subjects including pastoral scenes. Chromolithograph, 15 3/4 x 20 inches (four-color print without margins). Near fine with only a few tiny nicks at the edges.
