About the Author:

Emilio Castelar y Ripoll (September 8, 1832 — January 16, 1899) was a Spanish republican, and a president of the First Spanish Republic. Castelar was born in Cadiz. He was an eloquent and literary man. He was appointed dictator of Spain in 1873, but not being equal to the exigency in the affairs of the state, he resigned, and made way for the return of monarchy, though under protest. He wrote a history of the Republican Movement in Europe among other works of political interest. During the last half of the 19th century Harper's Weekly and Century Magazine Published many great articles on current and recent events in history, both national and international, the Arts, World Travel and much more. Though photography was developed (forgive the pun) during the 1840s the preferred medium for magazine illustration was the great art of engraving, until the 1890s when photographs began to replace engravings.
