EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a satirical cartoon of Queen Isabella II of Spain, published in Vanity Fair magazine on 18 September 1869. Created by the talented James Jacques Joseph Tissot, this lithograph depicts the queen's exile after being deposed during the Glorious Revolution of 1868 and subsequently abdicating in 1870. The cartoon humorously portrays her departure into exile with a suitcase, symbolizing her loss of power and position. The caption accompanying this artwork adds another layer of irony to the image. It states that Queen Isabella II has been consistently betrayed throughout her life by those who should have remained loyal to her. This biting satire highlights the political turmoil and treachery that surrounded her reign. Tissot, using his pseudonym "Coide" for his caricatures, masterfully captures both the physical likeness and emotional essence of Queen Isabella II in this piece. Despite its comical nature, there is an underlying sense of tragedy as we witness a once-powerful monarch reduced to carrying their own belongings into exile. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Tissot's artistic prowess and provides us with a glimpse into an important moment in Spanish history. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or admired for its artistic brilliance, this depiction of Queen Isabella II will undoubtedly captivate viewers for years to come.
