Artist's Description
This statue in Tucson's Armory Park dates from the 1898 Spanish-American War. Within hours of the war declaration the first war film was created on the roof of a New York building; a fictitious rendering of the removal of a Spanish flag in Havana replaced by the raising of the stars & stripes.
The 90 second propaganda film was made by the newly formed Vitagraph Company, which survived until 1924 when it was bought by Warner Brothers.
