Image description for Front Cover, El Mundo Ilustrado

There are three parts to this front page of an old Spanish magazine. At the top is a very ornate masthead surrounding the name of the publication, El Mundo Ilustrado. Under this is the subtitle in large letters. The entire bottom hald of the page is taken up with an engraving of the ruins of the fortified bridge over the river Mincio in Italy, a place that’s still a tourist spot today. The bridge was built in 1393 as part of a dam.
