This broadside by Spanish artist Antonio Bosch (1860-1880) depicts 48 scenes illustrating the kings and queens of Spain from the 9th century to the mid-19th century. Created between 1855 and 1865, the artwork utilizes a grid format to organize the portrait scenes. Each square features a king or queen in their royal regalia, set against a backdrop of their respective times, providing a visual historical record of Spain's royal lineage. This intricate work, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Spanish monarchy.
