VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a historical commemorative illustration celebrating the organization of the Civil Guard ("Se organizó la Guardia Civil") during the reign of Queen Isabella II of Spain ("Reinando Doña Isabel II"), as indicated by the text at the top and bottom. The year mentioned is 1844, which marks the establishment of this law enforcement agency. The central feature of this image is a large oval medallion surrounded by ten smaller oval portraits, each depicting an individual who likely played a significant role in either Spanish military or political life at that time. These portraits are formally posed, with each figure wearing military attire indicative of high rank and status. Atop the central medallion is a crown symbolizing royal authority, while below it there's an emblem featuring what appears to be two crossed Fasces—a bundle of rods typically bound together around an axe—representing strength through unity and commonly associated with judicial authority or policing power. Encircling these elements are decorative motifs including laurel leaves and ribbons, further emphasizing honor and achievement. The entire composition serves not only as recognition for those depicted but also as propaganda reinforcing loyalty to both Queen Isabella II's monarchy and her state institutions like the Civil Guard.
