EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece illustrates the title page of the comedy "Diablos son los alcahuetes, el espantoso tu foleto, y más co de Salerno" (Devils are the doormen, the terrifying leaflet, and other things from Salerno) by the renowned Spanish playwright, Antonio de Zamora (1660-1728). The image, housed in the National Library of Madrid, is a vertical, scenic representation of the play's title, showcasing the poetic and theatrical essence of Zamora's work. Antonio de Zamora was a prolific Spanish poet and playwright, whose career spanned over six decades. He wrote both comedies and tragedies, often incorporating elements of the supernatural and the fantastical into his works. "Diablos son los alcahuetes" is a comedy that premiered in Madrid in 1731, and the frontispiece offers a glimpse into the play's themes and tone. The image features a group of devils, or alcahuetes, gathered around a leaflet, or foleto, which is depicted as a terrifying and ominous presence. The devils, with their mischievous grins and horns, suggest the play's comedic elements, while the ominous foleto foreshadows the potential for supernatural twists and turns. The title of the play is written in elegant, flowing script, adding to the overall poetic and theatrical feel of the frontispiece. This frontispiece is a testament to the rich literary and theatrical traditions of Spain during the Baroque period, and the enduring influence of Zamora's work on Spanish literature and culture. The image invites us to explore the world of "Diablos son los alcahuetes" and to delve into the poetic and theatrical delights of Zamora's oeuvre.
