1843 Autographed Benito Dated Eduardo Journalist Letter Perez Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished face and piercing gaze of Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920), a legendary figure in Spanish literature and journalism. The image, dated 1920, shows Pérez Galdós in the later years of his illustrious career, with the folds of his suit and the creases on his face bearing testament to the many hours spent writing and reporting. Born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Pérez Galdós is considered one of the greatest Spanish writers of all time. He began his literary career as a journalist, working for various newspapers and magazines in Madrid. His first novel, "Fortunata y Jacinta," was published in 1866 and marked the beginning of his prolific and influential body of work. Over the next several decades, Pérez Galdós produced a vast array of novels, plays, and essays, exploring the complexities of Spanish society and culture. His works, which often tackled controversial topics and offered biting social commentary, earned him both admirers and detractors. This autographed letter, penned by Pérez Galdós in 1920, adds an extra layer of significance to the photograph. The letter, written in Spanish, is addressed to Eduardo Ribagorda, a fellow writer and friend of Pérez Galdós. The contents of the letter are not known, but the connection between the two men underscores the rich network of literary and intellectual relationships that flourished in Spain during this period. This rare and valuable photograph and letter, sourced from the Archives of the AISA (Asociación Internacional de Bibliotecas, Archivos y Museos de América), offer a glimpse into the life and work of one of Spain's most important cultural figures. The image serves as a poignant reminder of Pérez Galdós' enduring legacy and the profound impact he had on Spanish literature and journalism.
