Spain's Capital in War Time by Pierre Loti
Pierre Loti describes Madrid in wartime as crowds fill streets and royal halls glow with ancient splendor. Guards in white and blue hussars patrol the palace while archduchess TB gaze from gilded windows. The throne room, velvet and bronze lions, and ornate salons evoke a sleeping grandeur amid a desert countryside beyond the city.
