This is from a really interesting set of cards that commemorates episodes during the successful 1933 revolution against the Machado regime that ultimately resulted in the Batista regime taking over. The card depicts the arrival in Havana of the former Spanish light-heavyweight amateur champion Lorenzo Gomez Naya. Gomez Naya went on to an undistinguished career in Cuba and the USA ending with WWII. Royal Cigars branding and back that mentions it is part of a series of cards depicting scenes from the revolution. The winners not only get to write the history, they also get to make the cards!
