EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving depicts a pivotal moment in Spanish history during the Peninsular War in 1813. The scene unfolds in Madrid, the heart of Spain, where the National Library now houses this historical record. In the foreground, a determined group of Spanish men, dressed in masculine attire, stand guard over the royal palace. Their faces are etched with determination and resolve, as they prepare to expel the French intruder, Joseph Bonaparte, from their land. Joseph Bonaparte, brother of the infamous Napoleon Bonaparte, had seized the Spanish throne in 1808, following the abdication of King Ferdinand VII. However, the Spanish people, fueled by their national pride and desire for freedom, rose up against the French occupation. The color palette of the engraving is rich and vibrant, with the Spanish men's uniforms and the royal banners adding a sense of grandeur to the scene. In the background, the people of Madrid cheer and celebrate their impending victory, their faces filled with hope and joy. The expulsion of Joseph Bonaparte marked the end of the French occupation of Spain and the beginning of a new era for the country. This engraving serves as a testament to the courage and resilience of the Spanish people during a time of great adversity. The image of the Spanish guard, standing firm against the French invader, is a powerful symbol of national pride and determination that continues to resonate with Spaniards to this day.
