Narciso Méndez Bringa

His illustrations won two awards in 1906 and 1910 from the National Exhibition of Fine Arts (Spain).

[1] According to García Padrino, " Narciso Méndez Bringa represented the validity of the Nineteenth Century's concept of illustrating texts.

Literary or not, his illustrations were vigorous and fully detailed in setting and characterization, with images destined to be printed by xylography".

[1] Narciso Méndez Bringa collaborated in numerous magazines including The Ocurrencias, La Ilustración, The Graphic, El Arte Moderno, Caras y Caretas, [5] La Ilustración Española y Americana, Apuntes,[1] La Ilustración Artística,[6] ABC[3] and Blanco y Negro,[3][1] in which he was "a constant illustrator of every sort of stories".
