202 James Jacques Tissot (1836–1902) – Sovereigns, No. 2: Isabella II, Queen of Spain – Chromolithograph (September 18, 1869)
This political caricature depicts Isabella II, Queen of Spain, in an exaggerated style, carrying her crown and a suitcase. The accompanying caption states: "She has throughout her life been betrayed by those who should have been most faithful to her." The image was published shortly after the Queen’s deposition and exile in 1868, satirizing her tumultuous reign and forced departure from Spain. This print is a weekly supplement from the British society magazine Vanity Fair, which was known for its full-page caricatures of prominent figures.
James Jacques Tissot was a French painter, illustrator, and caricaturist who signed his Vanity Fair work with the pseudonym "Coïdé." He became a notable contributor to the magazine early in its history. Tissot’s career spanned the Impressionist and Victorian eras, marked by his refined paintings of contemporary life and fashion. The use of his caricatures, reproduced in color via chromolithography, was key to establishing Vanity Fair's success and distinctive visual style in the 19th century.
