1. Title: "Francis Cirujeda, 1st Marquis of Puntabrava: A Distinguished Nobleman of the 19th Century" Francis Cirujeda y Baez, 1st Marquis of Puntabrava (1853-1920), was a remarkable figure in Spanish history, renowned for his noble lineage, military prowess, political acumen, and significant contributions to the pharmaceutical industry. This colored engraving, created by the skilled hand of Passos, offers a glimpse into the life of this multifaceted Spanish figure. Born in Cuba in 1853, Cirujeda's early life was marked by the tumultuous period of the Cuban War of Independence. He distinguished himself as a decorated military general, earning numerous accolades for his bravery and leadership. In recognition of his military achievements, King Alfonso XIII bestowed upon him the title of Marquis of Puntabrava in 1898. Cirujeda's political career began in earnest following the end of the Cuban conflict. He served as a deputy in the Spanish Cortes (parliament) from 1898 to 1901, advocating for the rights and interests of his fellow Cubans. His commitment to public service extended beyond politics, as he also made significant strides in the pharmaceutical industry. This striking portrait captures Cirujeda in the prime of his life, adorned in his military uniform and sporting an impressive moustache. The rich colors and intricate details of the engraving serve to underscore the grandeur and importance of the subject. Cirujeda's story is a testament to the indomitable spirit and diverse talents of the Spanish elite during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This image is an invaluable historical resource, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who embodied the spirit of nobility, military prowess, and political acumen that defined the era. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Francis Cirujeda, 1st Marquis of Puntabrava.
