EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing 19th-century engraving published in El Museo Universal in 1861. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life of Madrid, Spain, during that era. The scene is set in a traditional Spanish tavern, where a group of men, dressed in masculine attire, gather around a long, wooden table. The room is filled with an air of camaraderie and conviviality as they engage in lively conversation, their faces expressing a range of emotions from merriment to contemplation. The tavern's name, "bodegón," is emblazoned on the wall above the door, while a sign on the counter reads "doce del día doce" and "cuartos el cubierto," indicating a twelve-coin cover charge for the table service. The men's clothing varies, with some donning suits and others wearing more casual attire, reflecting the diverse social classes that frequented such establishments. The table is adorned with wine glasses and bottles, suggesting that the group has been enjoying a hearty meal and libations. The growing vine in the background adds to the rustic charm of the tavern. This engraving, with its intricate details and evocative atmosphere, offers a fascinating window into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and conversations that unfolded within the walls of this Madrid tavern. The black and white contrast, characteristic of the engraving process, adds depth and texture to the image, making it a captivating addition to any collection of historical Spanish art.
