EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving from 1879 takes us back to a significant moment in Spanish history. The image showcases the theater box at the Royal Theatre, where Maria Cristina, Queen Consort of Spain, and Alfonso XII, King of Spain from 1874 to 1885, are seated side by side. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical scene. Maria Cristina's elegance is evident as she sits gracefully in her regal attire. Her presence exudes power and sophistication. Beside her sits Alfonso XII, a young monarch who ascended the throne at just seventeen years old. Despite his youthfulness, he carries himself with an air of authority befitting a king. The Royal Theatre itself serves as a backdrop for this royal couple's evening entertainment. Its grandeur and opulence reflect the splendor of Spanish culture during that era. Created by Santiago Ortega under the banner of Spanish and American Illustration, this engraving captures not only a specific moment but also provides insight into the rich history of Spain in the late 19th century. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand an intimate glimpse into the lives of these influential figures. It serves as a reminder that even through art and imagery, we can connect with our past and appreciate its significance for generations to come.
