EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures a cartoon published in the renowned Spanish journal La Flaca in 1871. Titled "Reign of Amadeo of Savoy, cartoon against Carlism" this artwork offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of 19th century Spain. The image portrays King Amadeo I of Savoy, who reigned over Spain from 1870 to 1873, during a tumultuous period marked by the Carlist Wars. The artist behind this colorful caricature remains unknown but their satirical depiction serves as an indictment against Carlism, a traditionalist movement that sought to restore absolute monarchy in Spain. With its horizontal composition and bold use of color, this artwork not only showcases the artistic style prevalent during the era but also highlights the power of visual media in shaping public opinion. Published within La Flaca magazine, which was known for its critical stance on political matters, this cartoon likely played a role in influencing public sentiment towards both King Amadeo and his opposition. As we admire this historical gem today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and provide valuable insights into our past. It stands as an important testament to the complex socio-political dynamics that shaped Spain's history during the late 19th century.
