EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Spain (1905). Anarchist attack against Cardinal Casas in front of the cathedral of Barcelona," is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in Spanish history. The image, published in the French newspaper "Le Petit Journal," depicts a chaotic scene outside the grandiose Cathedral of Barcelona. In the foreground, a group of anarchists, their faces obscured by masks or hats, are seen attacking Cardinal Casas as he tries to make his way through the crowd. The cardinal, dressed in his full regalia, is surrounded by a sea of angry protesters, their fists raised in defiance. The exterior of the cathedral, bathed in sunlight, looms large in the background, its vertical towers reaching up towards the clear blue sky. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling outdoor market, with vendors selling their wares and children playing in the streets. The vertical composition of the image, with its focus on the cardinal and the towering cathedral, emphasizes the power struggle between the religious and political forces at play. This engraving, housed in the National Library of France, offers a glimpse into the political turmoil of early 20th century Spain. The anarchist movement, fueled by social and economic unrest, was a formidable force in Spanish politics at the time, and their attacks against symbols of the established order, such as the Catholic Church, were a common occurrence. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the complex and often violent political landscape of the time, and the ongoing struggle for power and control in Spanish society.
