EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, hailing from the year 1812, showcases an allegorical scene set in the historic city of Vitoria, Spain. At the heart of the composition lies a grand, open-air square, where a woman, personifying the Constitution of 1812, proudly holds aloft a banner adorned with the Spanish coat of arms. Surrounding her are various persons, representing the diverse people of Spain, who have gathered to pay homage to the newfound constitutional freedoms. Intriguingly, the woman is depicted offering a snuff box to a soldier, symbolizing the unity and harmony between the military and the civil population under the new constitutional rule. The soldier, in turn, salutes her with a raised hand and a banner bearing the inscription "Army and People in Unity." The rich colors and vibrant details of the print bring the scene to life, with banners and flags waving in the wind, and the sun casting a warm, golden glow over the square. The Museum of the Armery in Vitoria is the proud home of this evocative artwork, which stands as a testament to the profound impact of the Constitution of 1812 on the Spanish people and their armed forces.
