Hold That Pose explores the role of visual images in Spain's
transition to a fully modern illustrated press by the first decade
of the twentieth century. It examines both the ideological impact
and the technological transformation of image production in Spanish
magazines during the Restoration. In the brief period of forty
years, 1870 to 1910, technological and manufacturing advances
revolutionized Spain's illustrated press and consequently
Europeanized the tastes and the expectations of its elite urban
readership. By 1900, once subscription prices fell and magazines
began to apply modern photojournalistic techniques, the middle
classes became inured to illustrated magazines. Advancements in
photomechanical reproduction allowed periodicals to focus more
extensively on the vicissitudes and pleasures of everyday life in
urban Spain along with world events in increasingly remote locales.
Hold That Pose explores this period of transition through an
analysis of the images that spoke for and to the burgeoning numbers
of subscribers who purchased the most popular weeklies of the
period.
