The work uses a unique format, incorporating a grid of 48 separate scenes, each depicting a specific event or moment in the war. Created between 1855 and 1865, the broadside provides a fascinating glimpse into the historical context of the Spanish Civil War and the artist's perspective on the conflict. The woodcut illustrations are rendered in a realistic style, creating a powerful visual impact. This work, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, offers a valuable window into the artistic and social landscape of 19th century Spain.
