EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, titled 'Portugal. Lisbon. Lighting of the Town Hall. Engraving by Rico,' transports us back to the 19th century as we gaze upon the illuminated Town Hall of Lisbon during a night of festivities. The capital city of Portugal, Lisbon, is depicted in all its grandeur, with the ornate building's facade bathed in a warm, golden glow. The balconies are adorned with people, their silhouettes creating an intricate pattern against the night sky. The crowd below, dressed in contemporary attire, eagerly awaits the start of the celebrations. The American and Spanish Illustration, published in 1886, captures the essence of this historic moment. The flag of Portugal, proudly displayed atop the Town Hall, adds a sense of national pride to the scene. The intricate details of the engraving, from the intricate patterns on the building's exterior to the individual faces in the crowd, are a testament to the skillful artistry of the engraver, Rico. Geographically, Lisbon is situated on the western coast of Portugal, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The city's rich history is evident in the architectural styles represented in the engraving, a blend of contemporary and age-old influences. The illumination of the Town Hall signaled the beginning of a night filled with feasts, festivities, and merriment, a tradition that continues to this day.
