'Viva La Libertád', 1868. In September 1868, Queen Isabella of Spain fled her country after the outbreak of revolution and the defeat of her troops by Serrano. She took refuge in France where Napoleon placed a castle at her service. On the 1st October 1868, the new government, based in Madrid, issued a proclamation to depose her from the throne. Here, then, we see Spain, free and being presented with the Crown by Marshal Serrano. From Punch, or the London Charivari, October 10, 1868.
