Caption

General Espartero, 1854. Portrait of Baldomero Espartero, Spanish military leader and politician. 'It is in the highest degree honourable to the character of Espartero (whatever may have been his errors or his faults when formerly in power) that, although he has been for eleven years in retirement, if not in disgrace, no sooner does the Spanish nation feel the necessity of rescuing itself from political and moral degradation, and of resuming its ancient constitutional rights, than the name of Espartero surges up from amidst the turbid excitement of insurrection and civil strife, and the combatants rest on their arms to await his coming'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
