EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1875 takes us back to a significant moment in history - the departure of His Majesty King Alphonse XII on his journey to Valencia. The image captures the grandeur and majesty surrounding this event, as troops line up alongside the railway tracks, ready to bid farewell to their beloved king. The horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate the scale of this occasion, with the train standing tall in the center of the frame. Its steam billows into the air, symbolizing progress and adventure. This print is a true testament to how railways revolutionized travel during the 19th century. Santiago Ortega's masterful engraving skillfully brings this historical moment back to life. Every detail is meticulously recorded, from each soldier's uniform down to every brick on Valencia's station platform. It is evident that this artwork was created with great care and respect for accuracy. As we gaze upon this piece from a private collection, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only an important royal departure but also experiencing a pivotal era in Spanish history. This print serves as a reminder of how railroads connected people and places like never before, shaping nations and transforming societies.
