Carmen Daughters Dictator Leather Miguel Photographed Pilar Primo Rivera
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intimate moment between Spanish General and dictator Primo de Rivera and his family in the 1920s. Primo de Rivera, dressed in his military uniform adorned with medals and insignia, sits proudly between his son Don Miguel and his two daughters, Carmen and Pilar. The family's elegant attire and the rich leather armchair add to the opulence of the scene. Born in 1870, Miguel Primo de Rivera y Orbaneja rose to prominence in the Spanish military, serving in the Spanish-American War and the Rif War in Morocco. He later became a prominent figure in Spanish politics, serving as the Minister of War and Marine under King Alfonso XIII. However, his political ambitions led him to seize power in a military coup in 1923, establishing a dictatorship that lasted until 1930. Despite his controversial political career, this photograph offers a glimpse into the personal side of Primo de Rivera, revealing him as a loving father and husband. The image is a poignant reminder of the complexities of history, where figures of power and authority are also human beings with families and emotions. The photograph, taken around the 1920s, is a testament to the historical significance of the Primo de Rivera era in Spanish history. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Spanish political and social history, and a reminder of the human stories that lie behind the headlines and textbooks.
