It was also one of the first photographed conflicts worldwide, which, on the one hand, provided new access to the war experience to an extended audience, and, on the other, zeroed in on the voids and silences of the representations of the war. In this essay, I first study the unease in depicting and remembering the conflict, focusing on press coverage and José Ignacio Garmendia's memories. I then pause at some of the photographs taken by the studio Bate & Ca. and reflect on their power to disturb, move, and evoke the violence of war. I argue that these are images that demand an active gaze, calling on the viewer to complete that which is not being shown"--
