EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by Onofre Alsamora in 1883, offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Barcelona during the 19th century. The image focuses on the impressive neoclassical facade of La Llotja, an historic building that once served as a consulate and a center for commerce in the heart of the Catalan city. The scene is set against the backdrop of the vibrant urban environment, with the sea in the distance and the illuminated windows of the building casting a warm glow over the cobblestone streets. A carriage, pulled by a horse, makes its way through the crowd, filled with people dressed in the fashionable attire of the bourgeoisie and bourgeoisie class of the time. A man in a top hat and cane, accompanied by his well-dressed dog, stands near the entrance of the building, likely on his way to conduct business. The reign of Alfonso XII of Spain is depicted in this contemporary illustration, with the royal coat of arms visible atop the building. The House of La Llotja, a symbol of Barcelona's rich history and economic prosperity, stands proudly in this enchanting scene. This beautiful engraving, now held in the Historical Museum of the City of Barcelona, provides a fascinating window into the past and the daily life of Barcelona during the 19th century.
