EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Ferdinand II's sword, a historical artifact of immense significance. The image depicts the sword donated by Ferdinand II himself to Alonso de Baeza in 1513, during a time when Ferdinand reigned as King of Aragon and Castile. The engraving, created by the Spanish School in the 19th century, beautifully captures the intricacies and grandeur of this ancient weapon. It is housed in the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, Spain. Ferdinand II, also known as "the Catholic" was a prominent figure in European history. His reign marked a period of great expansion for Spain and its territories. This sword holds deep symbolism as it represents not only Ferdinand's power but also his generosity towards Alonso de Baeza. The image itself comes from an edition of "Almanaque de Ilustracion" (Illustration's Almanac) published in 1883. Its inclusion within this publication highlights its historical importance and serves as a testament to its enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry through Esteban's lens, we are transported back to the 16th century - an era filled with political intrigue and military prowess. This engraving allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind such weaponry and its role within European history.
