EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching captures a pivotal moment in Spanish history: the proclamation of the First Republic on February 11, 1873. The National Assembly, gathered inside a grand interior, is depicted in this horizontal scene, with a man in the foreground holding up the new republican constitution. The room is filled with a group of engaged and determined men, all dressed in masculine attire, reflecting the democratic spirit of the moment. The engraving, with its intricate details and fine lines, transports us back to this significant historical event. The First Republic was the first democratic government in Spain, and it came about as a result of the Revolution of 1868, which overthrew Queen Isabella II. The new constitution granted various civil liberties and autonomy to regions, making it a groundbreaking document for its time. The scene inside the assembly hall represents the collective effort and determination of the Spanish people during this period of democratization. This etching is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Spain and Europe as a whole.
