EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent El Escorial palace in Spain, depicted through a stunning 19th-century engraving. Commissioned by Philip II of Spain after a decisive victory over the French at the Battle of St Quentin in 1557, this royal residence stands as a testament to Spanish history and architectural grandeur. The image is part of an illustration for Histoire De Belgique by Theodore Juste, published in Brussels around 1870. The engraving has been digitally cleaned to restore its original beauty and detail. El Escorial's significance extends beyond its role as a palace; it also serves as a monastery and is known as the Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
