Abstract

When the revolution of 1868 broke out, Isabel II was a hated queen. In the first phase of the movement that led to his exile, there were outbreaks of political iconoclasm in which the crowd destroyed the images of the sovereign, whether portraits or busts, and in general with all the symbols or emblems of the Bourbon dynasty. In this article, these episodes are reviewed and described in order to analyze their multiple meanings and functions.
