EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, hailing from the year 1869, offers a glimpse into the tumultuous political climate of Spain during the Glorious Revolution. The image, published in the satirical magazine "La Flaca," depicts a significant moment in Spanish history: the suspension of constitutional rights by the provisional government. At the center of the engraving stands General Nicolás Murillo, the head of the provisional government, who is shown suspending the constitution with a grandiose flourish. To his left, two claimants to the Spanish throne, Juan Prim and Nicolás María Rivero, look on with varied expressions. Juan Prim, a liberal politician and military leader, is seen smirking, while Nicolás María Rivero, a Carlist pretender to the throne, appears disapproving. To the right, a group of Republicans, led by Estanislao Figueras, are shown in a chaotic scene, symbolizing the turmoil and instability that came with the suspension of the constitution. The caricature, with its intricate details and sharp wit, offers a unique perspective on the political upheaval that engulfed Spain during this period. The Glorious Revolution, also known as the Revolution of 1868, was a pivotal moment in Spanish history. It marked the end of the Bourbon monarchy and the beginning of the First Spanish Republic. The revolution was sparked by widespread discontent with the ruling monarch, Isabella II, and her inability to address the country's political, economic, and social issues. The suspension of the constitution by the provisional government was a significant turning point in the revolution, as it marked the beginning of a period of instability and political upheaval that would last for several years. This print serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape of 19th-century Spain and the events that shaped its modern history.
