History and profile
El Globo was launched by Emilio Castelar, a Spanish politician, in Madrid in 1875, and its first issue appeared on 25 March 1875.[1] Its political stance was the moderate possibilist republican.[2][3] In 1885 another Spanish politician Eleuterio Maisonnave acquired the paper.[1] Next owner was Álvaro de Figueroa who bought El Globo in 1896,[1] changing its political stance to liberal monarchism.[4] The paper was sold to the Catalan deputy Emilio Ríus y Peniquet in 1902.[1] The last owner was Magdaleno de Castro.[1]
In the period 1897–1898 El Globo published a literary supplement entitled Plana del Lunes.[5] Due to lower circulation levels the frequency of the paper was switched from daily to twice per week in 1923.[1] Under the ownership of Magdaleno de Castro it was published on a weekly basis.[1] The final issue of El Globo was published on 31 May 1932.[1]
