The Spanish-American Crisis: reading the latest news at a street corner in Seville [sic], 1898. 'From a Sketch by F. Andren, Madrid. After displaying a degree of apathy which would have appeared remarkable even among northern nations, the Spaniards are gradually lashing themselves into a war fever. Our sketch represents a group of Madrilines discussing the latest known phase of the Spanish-American crisis in the Calle de Sevilla, one of the most important streets of Madrid.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
