This photograph captures the aftermath of the Battle of Alcolea during the Spanish Glorious Revolution of 1868. The revolution, also known as the Sexennium Revolution, was a pivotal moment in Spanish history as it led to the overthrow of Queen Isabella II and the establishment of the First Spanish Republic. The Battle of Alcolea, fought on September 20, 1868, took place in the province of Ciudad Real, in central Spain. The image presents a general view of the battlefield, with the lines of the opposing forces still visible. The revolutionary army, dressed in blue uniforms, is positioned on the right side of the frame, while the royalist army, wearing white uniforms, is seen on the left. The colors of the Spanish flag can be observed in the background, adding a sense of national pride to the scene. The battle was a significant turning point in the revolution, as the revolutionary forces, led by General Arsenio Martínez Campos, were able to secure a decisive victory against the numerically superior royalist army. With this victory, the revolutionary forces gained momentum and eventually succeeded in overthrowing the monarchy. This photograph, taken from the National Library in Madrid, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of the events that shaped Spain's political landscape over a century and a half ago. The vertical composition of the image, with its rich colors and intricate details, invites the viewer to explore the history of this fascinating period in European history.
