EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a pivotal moment during the Third Carlist War in Spain (1872-1876), specifically the conquest of Miravet Castle on June 24, 1875, in Catalonia. Arsenio Martinez-Campos, a prominent Liberal military leader born in Spain in 1831, led the Spanish and American troops in this decisive battle against the Carlist insurgents, loyal to Carlos VII. The scene unfolds with Martinez-Campos and his soldiers proudly entering the castle, having successfully conquered it from the Carlists. The colorful illustration captures the intensity and drama of the episode, with soldiers raising their flags and celebrating their victory. The age-old Miravet Castle, a symbol of the rebellion, now stands under the control of the liberal troops. This event marked a significant turning point in the Third Carlist War, which aimed to overthrow Alfonso XII and establish Carlos VII as the rightful king of Spain. The war, a civil conflict between the liberal and Carlist factions, lasted from 1872 to 1876 and left a deep mark on Spanish history. Martinez-Campos's leadership and strategic prowess played a crucial role in the liberal victory at Miravet Castle. His troops' determination and courage were on full display as they entered the castle, marking the beginning of the end for the Carlist rebellion. This engraving, published in The Spanish and American Illustration in 1875, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Europe during the 19th century and the tumultuous events that shaped Spain's political landscape.
