This print of Architectural Monuments was engraved by Teófilo Ruffle, a Parisian artist who played a leading role in the creation of this fantastic series as an engraver. He trained as a lithographer with Juan José Martínez in the city of Madrid, where he was from a young age, also attending the Royal Academy of San Fernando as part of his training. He moved back to his native city where he perfected the art of lithography at the Municipal School of Drawing directed by Leon Painlevé. 

He returned to Madrid as an excellent artist in chromolithography, taking part in national exhibitions, obtaining an honourable mention and even participating in series as important at this historical moment as this collection of Monuments or some such as The Spanish Museum of Antiquities (1872 - 1880)

In this engraving we can see the Victoria Cross, an image that has behind it the famous legend in which, according to it, the wooden cross inside the Victoria Cross in the Holy Chamber of Oviedo Cathedral was raised by Don Pelayo in the battle of Covadonga in the year 722, putting an end to the expansion of the Muslims into Christian territory. However, this is only a fictional account, as on the back of the cross there is an inscription that reads the donation made by Alfonso III the Great to the Cathedral of San Salvador de Oviedo in the year 908.
