Description

The document on the execution of Isidre Mompart i Prats in Barcelona in 1892 is a striking testimony of criminal justice in Catalonia at the end of the 19th century. This fact, probably linked to a serious crime or a turbulent social context, reflects the tensions of an era marked by political changes, social inequalities and the rise of labor movements. The document, of a judicial nature, provides a direct insight into criminal practices and the legal culture of the moment, and allows a better understanding of the relationship between the State and citizens. Furthermore, it illustrates how archives preserve memory of individual lives and mechanisms of power.
