EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithography print captures the President of the Council of Public Instruction, a key figure in the Spanish education system during the 19th century. The President is depicted wearing the insignia of various Spanish orders of chivalry and decorations, symbolizing his high rank and dedication to the realm. He is seen donning a biretta, a traditional academic hat, and a robe or toga, typically worn during formal occasions. The black velvet gown adds an air of solemnity to the image. The President holds a diploma or document in one hand, possibly related to the education system, while the other hand rests on a pendant or medal, signifying his honors and achievements. The intricate details of the orders' insignia and the President's regal attire are beautifully rendered in chromolithography, a popular printing technique during the late 1800s. This print is taken from the "Historia de las Ordenes de Caballeria y de las Condecoraciones Espanolas" (History of the Orders of Chivalry and the Spanish Decorations), published in Madrid in 1865. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the various orders and decorations in the Spanish system, making this print an essential historical document and a testament to the rich heritage of Spanish culture and education during the 19th century. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this chromolithography print offers a captivating glimpse into the past, providing a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Spain and its educational system.
