Overview
Gedeón was a Spanish satirical magazine published in Madrid between 1895 and 1912. Its first issue appeared in November 1895, and it was published weekly. The magazine was classified within its genre as having a strong "political intentionality," and its satirical and political criticism focused primarily on the Liberal Party and the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). In November 1898, the magazine was suspended for publishing an illustration caricaturing various members of the Liberal Party; nevertheless, it continued to publish issues under the title "Calínez." The magazine featured contributions from illustrators such as Pedro Antonio Villahermosa "Sileno," Joaquín Moya, Manuel Tovar, Francisco Sancha Lengo, Vera, Joaquín Xaudaró, and Ramón López Montenegro. In 1904, it was acquired by Rodrigo de Figueroa y Torres, and finally, in 1909, by Torcuato Luca de Tena, who incorporated it into his recently founded Prensa Española. The publication ceased in 1912.
