EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment when Miguel Primo de Rivera, a Spanish military man and politician, was bestowed the title of "Hijo Adoptivo y Bienhechor" (Adopted Son and Protector) of the city of Saragossa in 1927. Primo de Rivera, born in 1870, rose to prominence in the Spanish military and later became a politician, serving as the dictator of Spain from 1923 to 1930. In this image, he is seen standing proudly before the Town Hall of Saragossa, surrounded by Spanish soldiers and local dignitaries. By his side is Galo Ponte y Escartín, the Justice Minister at the time, who played a key role in Primo de Rivera's dictatorship. The title of "Hijo Adoptivo y Bienhechor" was a great honor, symbolizing the city's recognition of Primo de Rivera's contributions and leadership. This photograph is a testament to the militaristic and authoritarian nature of Primo de Rivera's regime, which was characterized by the expansion of military power and the suppression of political opposition. The photograph's horizontal composition, along with the formal attire and stern expressions of the subjects, adds to the sense of gravity and importance of the occasion.
