EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, titled "Academic," is a captivating glimpse into the rich history and culture of Spain during the 19th century. Produced in Madrid in 1865 as part of the comprehensive work "Historia de las Ordenes de Caballeria y de las Condecoraciones Espanolas" (History of the Orders of Chivalry and the Spanish Decorations), this vibrant and intricately detailed image showcases the grandeur and sophistication of an academic figure. The man in the portrait dons the traditional attire of a scholar or professor, complete with a mortarboard hat adorned with tassels, a long academic gown, and a white shirt and waistcoat. He holds a pair of glasses in one hand, while the other hand rests on a medallion or medal, symbolizing his academic achievements. His attire is further accessorized with a decorative sash and a pair of white gloves. The chromolithography technique, which involves the transfer of color images from lithographic stones, was a popular method for producing high-quality, detailed prints during the late 19th century. The rich colors and intricate details of this print are a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographers who created it. This image offers a fascinating window into the academic and cultural traditions of Spain during this period, providing a visual record of the dress, decorations, and customs of the time. The intricate details of the man's attire, the use of color, and the overall composition of the print make it a valuable addition to any collection of European history or art.
