EDITORS COMMENTS
This commemorative card is a unique and intriguing artifact from Spanish history, showcasing the design of a deck of cards created to honor the Spanish Constitution of 1812. Designed by Simon Ardit and Quer in 1822 using the xylography technique, this deck is a visual representation of the political climate of the time. The Spanish Constitution of 1812 was a significant moment in Spanish history, marking the country's transition towards liberalism and representative government. This deck of cards, with its elaborate designs, serves as a testament to the importance of this period, known as the Liberal Triennium. The card depicted here is from the Fournier de Naipes Museum of Alava in Vitoria, Basque Country, Spain. The design features the coat of arms of Castile and León, with two lions holding shields and a banner inscribed with the words "Sociedad" and "Sociedades," reflecting the social and organizational aspects of the time. The use of xylography, a method of printing using woodblocks, adds to the historical significance of the cards. The intricate details of the engravings and woodcuts showcase the skill and artistry of the designers and printers. This commemorative card is not only a fascinating piece of Spanish history but also a beautiful work of art. It provides a glimpse into the political and social climate of the time and serves as a reminder of the importance of constitutional government and the role it plays in shaping societies.
