Felix Berenguer de Marquina (1736-1826): A Prominent Figure in Spanish Colonial Administration This striking colored engraving depicts Felix Berenguer de Marquina, a Spanish naval officer, colonial official, and viceroy of New Spain (Mexico) between 1800 and 1803. Born in 1736, Marquina rose through the ranks of the Spanish Navy and later served as the Governor of Cuba before being appointed as the viceroy of New Spain. Marquina's tenure as viceroy was marked by significant events, including the failed attempt to invade Louisiana by the Spanish and the ongoing conflict with the British in the region. Despite these challenges, Marquina managed to maintain order and stability in the vast colony, which was home to a diverse population of indigenous peoples, Europeans, and Africans. As a nobleman and a member of the Spanish nobility, Marquina is depicted here in the regal attire of the time, complete with a flowing cape and a sash adorned with the royal crest. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and authority, reflecting his role as a powerful colonial administrator. The engraving, produced in the late 18th or early 19th century, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Spanish colonial administration during a time of great change and upheaval. Marquina's story is a reminder of the complex and multifaceted nature of colonialism, as well as the important role played by individuals in shaping the course of history.
