EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures a pivotal moment in history - the assassination of Garcia Moreno, the Catholic president of Ecuador, on the steps of his palace in December 1921. The image shows the chaos and tragedy of that fateful day, as Moreno is gunned down by the saddler Rayo, who was allegedly hired by the Masons.
The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated. Moreno was known for his devout Catholicism and conservative policies, which made him a target for those who opposed his rule. His assassination sent shockwaves through Ecuador and beyond, sparking outrage among Catholics and fear among Masons.
The composition of the print is striking - with Moreno lying lifeless on the steps of his palace, surrounded by onlookers in shock and disbelief. The tension and drama captured in this image are palpable, making it a truly unforgettable piece of historical documentation.
As we reflect on this tragic event from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of the fragility of power and how quickly lives can be changed by violence. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of political turmoil and religious conflict, urging us to remember those who have fallen victim to such senseless acts throughout history.
