EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic moment of the death of Spanish matador Manuel Garcia dit Espartero in the arenas of Madrid. The unknown artist skillfully engraved this heart-wrenching scene, which was featured in "Le petit journal" on July 2nd, 1894. In this intense depiction, we witness the fatal estocade delivered by a powerful bull as it strikes down Espartero. The image evokes a sense of fear and awe as we contemplate the bravery and danger inherent in bullfighting. The Selvas collection has preserved this historical artwork, allowing us to delve into a significant event that shook both French and Spanish communities during the late 19th century. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the risks faced by matadors each time they enter the arena. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Espartero's untimely demise but also of various accidents that have occurred throughout history within this dangerous sport. It is through images like these that we gain insight into moments that shaped cultural practices and evoke strong emotions within society. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures every detail and emotion present in this historic engraving. With its out-of-copyright status, it allows us to appreciate and reflect upon an important chapter in Spanish history without limitations or commercial interests overshadowing our connection with artistry from centuries past.
