EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving showcases King Amadeo I of Spain (1845-1890), the monarch who ruled the Spanish Kingdom from 1870 to 1873. Born as Amadeo Ferdinando Maria Anna Vincenzo Damiano Filippo di Savoia, Amadeo was the Duke of Aosta and Prince of Piedmont before ascending to the Spanish throne. Amadeo's regal presence is depicted in the image, wearing the grand uniform of the Spanish Army, complete with a distinctive beard and a medal adorned chest. The King's stern yet resolute expression conveys a sense of determination and leadership, reflecting his military background and commitment to his new kingdom. Amadeo's reign was marked by political instability and turmoil, as Spain was grappling with social and economic challenges. Despite these difficulties, Amadeo remained steadfast in his duties, working to modernize the Spanish monarchy and promote unity among the diverse population. This engraving, published in "The Spanish and American Illustration" in 1870, offers a contemporary glimpse into the visage of a monarch who sought to bring stability and progress to the Spanish Kingdom. Amadeo's legacy continues to be celebrated in both Spain and Italy, where he is remembered as a brave and dedicated leader who left an indelible mark on history.
