EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Barcelona's tumultuous past. The image showcases the aftermath of an anarchist attack that shook the city on June 21,1896. A bomb explosion occurred as a procession was leaving the revered church of Santa Maria on Nuevos Cambios street. The engraving, originally featured in "Le petit journal" provides us with a glimpse into this chaotic scene frozen in time. Created by an unknown artist from the 19th century, this artwork now resides in a private collection belonging to Leonard de Selva. The composition depicts the devastation caused by this act of anarchism. The streets are filled with chaos and panic as people scramble for safety amidst debris and smoke. The vibrant colors used in this engraving add intensity to the already dramatic atmosphere. This historical event serves as a reminder of Spain's turbulent past and its struggle against political unrest during that era. It also highlights how press coverage played a crucial role in disseminating information about such incidents across borders, even reaching France where it was published. Leonard de Selva has preserved this significant piece of history through his photography, ensuring that future generations can reflect upon and learn from these events. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the resilience and strength exhibited by communities faced with adversity throughout history.
