EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a rare moment of respite and connection between the people and their exiled queen, Isabella II of Spain, during her years of exile in France in the late 19th century. The image, taken in 1870, depicts a street serenade by masked musicians to the queen as she stands on her balcony, surrounded by her loyal subjects. The musicians, dressed in traditional Spanish attire and wearing masks to conceal their identities, play a guitar and sing a heartfelt melody, their hats held aloft in a gesture of respect and admiration. The crowd below, filled with a sense of awe and devotion, watches on in silent appreciation. The scene is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of music to bring people together, to offer solace and hope in times of hardship, and to create a moment of shared beauty and connection. The photograph, with its rich historical context and timeless human emotion, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Spanish monarchy and the indomitable spirit of the people.
