EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving from 1869, we witness a defining moment in Spanish history. The image captures the poignant exit of Queen Elizabeth II and her royal family from their cherished residence on September 30,1868. Forced into exile amidst the tumultuous Revolution of 1868, they embarked on a journey to France that would forever alter their lives. The horizontal composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this pivotal scene as we observe the somber expressions etched upon their faces. The artist's skillful hand brings forth intricate details, emphasizing the weight of uncertainty that hangs heavy in the air. As they depart their once-cherished home, one can only imagine the mix of emotions coursing through each member of this illustrious family. Their departure marks not just an end to an era but also signifies a nation undergoing profound transformation. This rare print is now part of a private collection, serving as a visual testament to Spain's rich history during this period. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege are not immune to political upheaval and societal change. Santiago Ortega masterfully captures both the personal sorrow felt by these individuals forced into exile and the broader historical significance behind their departure. This engraving stands as an enduring tribute to resilience amidst adversity and invites viewers to reflect upon how revolutions shape nations for generations to come.
