Querétaro engalanado: Identidad, pompa e indumentaria en la aclamación del monarca Felipe V y el príncipe Luis de Borbón (1710)

In November 1710, the Novohispanic city of Santiago de Querétaro organized a double celebration for the first two Spanish Bourbons, King Felipe V and his heir, recently sworn in as Prince of Asturias, Luis Fernando. The event, narrated in an unpublished manuscript, allows us to investigate the cultural syncretism of Querétaro at the beginning of the 18th century, and how this public acclamation became a careful staging of both the affection and loyalty of the multicultural Queretaro society to the new reigning dynasty, as well as the prestige, power, illustrious past, and cosmopolitan present that this city and its most distinguished residents claimed within the
viceroyalty of New Spain.
