EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the poignant moment of Queen Isabella II of Spain's abdication in favor of her young son, Alfonso XII, on June 25, 1870, in Paris, France. Isabella, dressed in a elegant gown and adorned with the jewels of the Spanish monarchy, sits on a chair with a curtain drawn behind her, creating an intimate and solemn atmosphere. Her son, Alphonse, a boy at the time, is shown standing beside her, wearing a military uniform and holding a sword, symbolizing his impending reign. The official ceremony took place during Isabella's exile in France, following the political upheaval and instability in Spain. The engraving, created by the skilled hand of Capuz, depicts a group of men in formal attire, observing the scene from a distance, adding to the sense of importance and historical significance. The interior of the room is illuminated by a lamp, casting a warm glow over the scene, while the colors in the print add depth and vibrancy to the image. This engraving provides a glimpse into the contemporary political landscape of the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the personal and political dynamics of the Spanish monarchy during a time of change.
