William Randolph Hearst sent artist Frederic Remington to Cuba in 1897 to provide illustrations for Hearst's newspapers, particularly to cover the Cuban War of Independence against Spanish rule. Hearst aimed to sensationalize the conflict and boost newspaper sales, believing that dramatic visuals would capture public interest. Remington's artwork was intended to depict the turmoil and heroism of the Cuban struggle, contributing to the growing American support for intervention in the conflict.
