This print showcases the vibrant character of El Caixer Senyor, a central figure in the festive celebrations of St. John in Ciutadella. The colored engraving captures the essence of this traditional Balearic Islands event, known as El Jaleo, which has been celebrated for centuries. Dressed in a striking and colorful costume, El Caixer Senyor stands out amidst the lively parades and ruckus that define this joyous occasion. The engraved details beautifully depict his attire, reflecting both history and culture through every stitch and accessory. The image takes us back to a time when dances, songs, and customs were cherished traditions passed down from generation to generation. It offers a glimpse into the rich folklore and Mediterranean heritage that defines these festivities on the island of Menorca. Preserved within a private collection, this 19th-century engraving holds immense historical value as it portrays an unknown but significant aspect of Spanish tradition. Its vertical composition allows us to fully appreciate every intricate detail of El Caixer Senyor's dress and adds depth to our understanding of this unique celebration. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported to another era where community spirit thrived during religious festivals like St. John's Day in Ciutadella. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of cultural customs and their ability to unite people through shared experiences across time.
