EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by Bernardo Rico in 1881, depicts a significant moment in Spanish political history: the banquet of the Partido Democratico-Monarquico, held in honor of Segismundo Moret y Prendergast at the Theater of La Alhambra in Madrid. Moret, a prominent Spanish politician, is seen addressing the audience with a confident and resolute gesture, as the party leaders and members look on from the ornately decorated boxes. The banquet was a show of support and congratulations to Moret on his recent parliamentary victory, marking a crucial moment during the Bourbon Restoration era. The age of Diners, both men and women, are dressed in contemporary European fashion, seated at tables adorned with fine china and crystal, while others stand along the fence, eagerly listening to Moret's speech. The interior of the theater is richly decorated, with intricate details and ornate furnishings, reflecting the opulence of the era. This historical image offers a glimpse into the political climate of 19th-century Europe, providing a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the liberal party and the monarchists during the reign of Alfonso XII.
