EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures the public reception of Prince Charles in Madrid during his secret visit to negotiate the Spanish Match. The illustration, taken from Cassell Illustrated History of England, showcases the grand entrance and warm welcome bestowed upon the future King Charles I by enthusiastic Spaniards. Mounted on horseback, Prince Charles is accompanied by a procession of British officials and dignitaries as they parade through the streets of Madrid. The image exudes an air of regality and diplomacy, with civilians lining the route to catch a glimpse of their royal visitor. James I's desire for his son to marry Maria Anna of Spain is evident in this historic moment frozen in time. The Duke of Buckingham can be seen riding alongside Prince Charles, further emphasizing the significance and importance attached to this diplomatic mission. The print not only captures a significant event in British history but also highlights the cultural exchange between two nations. It serves as a testament to both Britain's influence abroad and Spain's willingness to engage with foreign powers. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to delve into centuries-old political alliances and witness firsthand how royalty was received during official visits.
