EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed figure of Jose Maria Valles and Ribot, a prominent Republican politician from Catalonia. Born in Barcelona in 1849, Valles was not only a member of the Royal Academy of Jurisprudence and Legislation of Catalonia but also an active participant in various political movements. From his early years, Valles aligned himself with the Democratic Federal Republican Party. In 1873, he was elected as a Member of the Constituent Courts during the First Spanish Republic. His dedication to federalism led him to become the first president of the Federalist Center Barcelona. Valles's influence extended beyond politics; he co-edited "Projecte constitucio catala per a l'estat" (Draft constitution for the Catalan State) in 1883. Throughout successive legislatures, he represented multiple districts in the Catalan Cortes. This print offers us a glimpse into an era marked by significant political changes and aspirations for autonomy within Catalonia. It is evident that Valles played an instrumental role during this period through his involvement in academia, lawmaking, and his unwavering commitment to republican ideals. Preserved within a private collection, this image serves as a reminder of Valles's historical significance and contributions to both regional politics and Spain at large. As we explore this snapshot from history, we are left wondering about Santiago Ortega's unknown connection to this intriguing piece capturing one man's remarkable journey through turbulent times.
