Spanish American War 1898 Maria Teresa Cruiser Hobson Naval Constructor Review

Period Paper has obtained an unusual collection of historical color and black and white print illustrations of the Spanish-American War that were published in 1898 by P. F. Collier. Following the sinking of the Battleship Maine in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898, the United States declared war on Spain on April 25, 1898. The war ended on December 10, 1898 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris resulting in Spain losing Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Guam and other islands in its overseas empire. Some of these prints are printed on heavy stock with no printing on the reverse, while others are on regular stock and may have text on the reverse. Although the condition of each print varies, this collection will be of interest to the serious history collector.
