EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in history - the Revolution of 1868 that led to the overthrow of Isabel II, also known as "the Glorious". Published in the renowned journal La Flaca in 1868, this political cartoon captures the essence and impact of this revolutionary event. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the atmosphere of Spain during this tumultuous period. The horizontal composition allows for a comprehensive view of the scene, enabling viewers to immerse themselves in every aspect of this historical moment. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but their talent is undeniable. Through skillful strokes and clever symbolism, they convey both the power dynamics at play and the spirit of rebellion that fueled this revolution. Santiago Ortega's name is associated with it but there are doubts about his authorship. By depicting Isabel II being overthrown amidst a backdrop filled with newspapers and magazines, we can sense how media played a crucial role in disseminating information and rallying support for change. This image serves as a powerful reminder not only of Spain's past struggles for democracy but also highlights journalism's vital role as an agent for social transformation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our heritage collection, let us reflect on those who fought bravely against oppression and injustice during one of Spain's most transformative periods. May it inspire us to cherish our hard-fought freedoms today while reminding us that revolutions are often driven by ordinary individuals yearning for liberty.
