Through the lens of cultural studies, Charnon-Deutsch (Hispanic languages, State U. of New York-Stony Brook) frames her commentary on nuestros grabados (our engravings), the section in illustrated 19th century Spanish weekly magazines in which art critics instructed readers on how to view artists' images of idealized femininzty. These 192 b&w, illustrations from the period of Queen Isabel II's 1868 overthrow to the end of the century embody male Romantic ideologies of women as symbols of beauty, desire, evil, bourgeois family values, exoticism, and political ideas.
