1792 Article Gazette Journalism Letter Press Printing Tuesday
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an original issue of the Gazeta de Madrid Newspaper, specifically the Number 33, published on April 24, 1792, during the 18th century in Spain. The Gazeta de Madrid was the first official newspaper of the Spanish monarchy, established in 1717, and held a significant role in disseminating royal decrees, laws, and important news to the public. The aged and worn paper, bearing the crest of the Spanish monarchy, carries the weight of history with its yellowed pages and frayed edges. The title "Gazeta de Madrid" is prominently displayed at the top of the front page, followed by the date "24 de Abril" and the number "33." An intriguing article, written in Spanish, can be seen in progress on the lower left corner of the page. The article's title, "S.M.C. Ordena," is visible, hinting at a royal decree or order. The print showcases the meticulous royal printing process of the time, with the ink still fresh on the page. The text is neatly arranged in columns, with each line carefully separated by a thin rule. The paper's texture and the subtle imperfections in the print serve as a reminder of the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of the printing process during the 18th century. This artifact offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness the evolution of journalism and the role of the press in shaping public opinion during the age of enlightenment. The Gazeta de Madrid, with its rich history and enduring legacy, continues to be an essential piece of Spain's literary and historical heritage.
