EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative engraving from the 19th century, a passionate patriotic protest unfolds in the heart of Madrid's Seville Street. The year is 1885, during the reign of Alphonse XII, and the controversy at hand is the conflict over the Spanish sovereignty of the Caroline Islands, which Germany was contesting. The image captures the intensity of the moment as a diverse crowd gathers in the open air, united in their support for their country. Men and women of all ages, some holding children, have come together to voice their concerns and show their solidarity. Balconies and windows above the bustling crowd are filled with onlookers, their faces expressing a range of emotions from curiosity to alarm. At the center of the scene, a boy clutches a newspaper, likely the latest news on the international crisis. Nearby, a man speaks animatedly to his companions, gesturing towards a lamppost adorned with Spanish and American Illustration, 1885, the publication that likely carried this image. Horses and carriages add to the sense of commotion, while policemen attempt to maintain order amidst the disturbance. The episode underscores the political tensions of the era and the power of public demonstrations to galvanize a community. This engraving serves as a captivating reminder of the rich history and vibrant spirit of Madrid during a pivotal moment in Spanish and European history.
