La Granja de San Ildefonso in Segovia or the North Slope of the Sierra de Guadarrama, was, as you know, the place chosen by the first Bourbon king, Felipe V, in 1723 to raise a palace adorned with some beautiful gardens in which to recover from illnesses, disappointments and setbacks that caused him the exercise of power and even to enjoy for his long-awaited withdrawal of stillness and serenity of these places away from the madding crowd afforded him.
Since that distant time, the palace and gardens of La Granja have been run between the walls and flower beds History of Spain and many have been silent or vociferous witness momentous events in the country, which is not the time gloss or the time now.
temporary residence in the House for many years we have seen fit to bail out, some old photographs of the gardens and elsewhere, which are stored in museums and public collections in Europe with the desire to share with the readers of this blog, especially with those who know and enjoy this Royal Site.
The first three are from French photographer of the nineteenth century, Jean Laurent and are in the Musée d'Orsay .
Minier Jean Laurent (1816-1866), writes Publio López Mondéjar 1, "was the most active propagator of photography in nineteenth-century Spain and its most representative and emblematic figure . " Inventor of collodion or leptógrafo paper, fine paper that allowed a good range of halftones and faster developer, lived from 1843 in Madrid, where photographer known as Her Majesty the Queen, had a photography studio in San career Jerome, n º 39, 4 th floor. The company he founded Laurent y Cia sold thousands of photographs of monuments, works of art, celebrities, popular types, etc. in their shops in Madrid and Paris and, through an extensive network of correspondents and representatives. In 1863, the catalog views to esterócopos and include 14 photographs of San Ildefonso, possibly reproduce here that relates to this series. For the curious and local investigators say that the depositary of these catalogs in The Farm at the time was Don José Witch, the Fonda de Paris.

The next two are the photographer and Catalan doctor, Josep Blanch i Salvany (1866-1929 and are taken around 1915. Ties to Hiking Centre of Catalonia, Salvany Blanch i toured much of Spain and other European countries in their scientific field trips during the first quarter twentieth century, documenting monuments, landscapes, peoples, customs .... The Biblioteca de Catalunya keeps a stereoscopic plate clichés 10.00, including two that copy entitled "Detail barracks in the Real Sitio de la Granja de San Ildefonso " and "Plough entry into the Real Sitio de San Ildefonso . " 
As soon like and how much tired, leave another set of outstanding photographs, for another day, if our readers are interested, including yes, one ours, that we believe, with permission from Diana in the bath the source "more erotic" in the gardens of La Granja .
