EDITORS COMMENTS
Emilio Calleja (1830-1906): A Distinguished Spanish Military Figure of the 19th Century This engraving, published in The Spanish and American Illustration in 1886, showcases the portrait of Emilio Calleja, a prominent Spanish military figure during the late 19th century. Born in 1830, Calleja rose through the ranks to become the Captain General of the island of Cuba, a position he held with great distinction. The image reveals Calleja as a mature man with a full beard, his face framed by a high collar and adorned with several medals, a testament to his military accomplishments. Calleja wears the uniform of a captain general, complete with a red sash, and is dressed in the formal attire of the era. The engraving is further enhanced by the addition of vibrant colors, which bring out the intricate details of the uniform and the textures of Calleja's facial features. Calleja's military career began during the Carlist Wars in Spain, where he served as a carretero, or a driver, in the army. He later joined the Spanish Marine Corps and saw action in various conflicts, including the Cuban Wars of Independence. Calleja's leadership and strategic abilities were recognized by his superiors, leading to his appointment as Captain General of Cuba in 1879. This engraving offers a glimpse into the historical context of the late 19th century, a time of great political and social change in both Spain and its colonies. Calleja's image serves as a reminder of the significant role the military played in shaping the course of history during this period. The Spanish and American Illustration, published by Arturo Sánchez Isasi, was a leading source of visual information on Spanish and American affairs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This engraving, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the high-quality work produced by the publication.
