Her Majesty the Queen of Spain, 1860. Creator: Unknown
Her Majesty the Queen of Spain, 1860. In person Isabella inherits much of the comeliness of her mother. She is above the middle height, well-proportioned, with rich auburn hair, and soft, expressive blue eyes, which impart a most winning expression to her countenance; and, added to an extremely courteous and affable manner, a fine, high spirit, and a munificent generosity, give her an extraordinary ascendancy over all who come into her presence...Against the life of a Sovereign with such claims upon the affection of her subjects, and who is withal so charitable, so amiable, humane, and gentle, it is strange that any wretch could be found ruthless enough to raise his hand; yet twice has the attempt been made to assassinate Queen Isabella, only on each occasion to evoke that courage and kindliness which are among the numerous good traits in her character. Her charities, dispensed without ostentation to distressed objects of compassion even among the enemies of her reign, absorb a very large portion of her privy purse, and these, and her faithful adherence to the principles on which her throne is based, have won for her sceptre and her person an amount of warm, genuine, loyalty and affection among her people in all parts of Spain'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
Her Majesty the Queen of Spain, Isabella II, in the year 1860, was known for her striking beauty and winning personality. Standing above the middle height with rich auburn hair and soft, expressive blue eyes, Isabella's countenance radiated an extraordinary ascendancy over those who came into her presence. Her courteous and affable manner, high spirit, and munificent generosity endeared her to her subjects, making her a beloved monarch. Despite her charms, Isabella's reign was not without danger. Twice attempts were made on her life, yet her courage and kindness only grew stronger in the face of adversity. Her charities, dispensed without ostentation to distressed objects of compassion, even among her enemies, absorbed a significant portion of her privy purse. Her unwavering commitment to the principles upon which her throne was based and her warm, genuine loyalty and affection among her people in all parts of Spain made her a revered and beloved figure in Spanish history. This photograph, taken in 1860, captures the essence of Isabella II, the Queen of Spain, a monarch remembered for her beauty, grace, and unwavering dedication to her people. The image is a testament to a time when the monarchy held a special place in the hearts of the people, and the reign of Isabella II remains an important chapter in Spanish history.
