In 1862 the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid acquired eighty copperplates of the ‘Los Desastres de la Guerra’ and eighteen of the ‘Los Proverbios’ series. The Academy members decided to use the plates and an edition of 500 sets was printed and put on to the market. This first edition of the ‘Desastres’ appeared in 1863 with a title page similar to the one of the ‘Proverbios’ issued a year later.
