EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print from 1869 depicts Isabella II, the Queen of Spain from 1833 to 1870. Created by renowned artist James Jacques Joseph Tissot, this artwork showcases Isabella in a moment of turmoil and betrayal. Clutching her suitcase tightly and desperately trying to catch her falling crown, she appears to be blown away from her own country. The accompanying caption reads, "She has throughout her life been betrayed by those who should have been most faithful to her". This powerful statement highlights the challenges and hardships faced by Isabella during her reign. Despite holding a position of power and authority, she was constantly let down by those closest to her. Originally published in "Vanity Fair" on September 18th, 1869, this satirical cartoon sheds light on the political climate surrounding Isabella's rule. The image serves as a commentary on the treachery that plagued her time as queen. Tissot's artistic talent is evident in this portrait. His attention to detail brings out the emotions portrayed on Isabella's face as she faces adversity with determination and resilience. This piece not only captures an important historical figure but also serves as a reminder of the complexities of power dynamics within monarchy. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as loyalty, betrayal, and personal strength amidst challenging circumstances.
