Between Two Fires, 1875. Artist: Joseph Swain
Between Two Fires, 1875. Pope Pius IX is on the left of this cartoon and Bismarck of Germany on the right. In the middle is the young son of the abdicated Queen Isabella of Spain. He had recently been proclaimed King Alfonso XII of Spain. The new King entered Barcelona in mid-January and was warmly received. However, as this cartoon illustrates, both the Protestant and the Catholic factions were not slow in making a move on the King in order to secure enhanced recognition of their various claims. From Punch, or the London Charivari, January 23, 1875

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Between Two Fires, 1875" captures a pivotal moment in history. The renowned artist Joseph Swain skillfully depicts the complex political landscape of the time. In this cartoon, Pope Pius IX stands on the left while Bismarck of Germany stands on the right, symbolizing the contrasting forces at play. Positioned between them is Alfonso XII, the young son of Queen Isabella of Spain who had recently been proclaimed King. The image portrays a struggle for power and influence over the new Spanish monarch. Both Protestant and Catholic factions are depicted making moves to secure recognition for their respective claims. The tension is palpable as each side seeks to sway Alfonso XII towards their own beliefs and interests. Swain's satirical approach adds depth to this engraving from Punch magazine, published on January 23rd, 1875. The intricate details bring out various elements such as crowns, swords, helmets, and uniforms that represent royalty and politics during that era. This thought-provoking image not only reflects historical events but also explores broader themes such as religion, warfare, fear, and power struggles within European countries during the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to Swain's artistic prowess in capturing significant moments with profound social commentary. Overall, "Between Two Fires" offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into a tumultuous period in European history where religious tensions clashed with political ambitions amidst changing dynasties and shifting alliances.
