EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the entrance of King Alfonso XIII, accompanied by his mother, Queen Maria Christina, into Vigo in 1900. The image showcases the grandeur and regality befitting a king as he steps ashore from one of the majestic naval ships that flank him. The attention to detail in this horizontal print is remarkable; every line etched with precision tells a story of power and authority. The artist, Santiago Ortega, skillfully brings to life this historical event through his intricate engravings. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor of Spanish royalty amidst an era marked by great change. Alfonso XIII's reign spanned from 1886 to 1941, making him an influential figure during both the 19th and 20th centuries. This engraving serves as a testament to his significance within Spanish history. While little is known about the specific circumstances surrounding this particular moment captured on paper, it remains an iconic representation of Spain's past. Its inclusion within Spanish and American Illustration further emphasizes its cultural importance beyond national borders. As we admire this enchanting print today, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to transport us back in time - reminding us of the rich tapestry that makes up our shared heritage.
