EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic photograph captures the first electric refrigerator produced in Spain by the Anglo-Espanola de Electricidad SA (AEESA) brand in the 1950s. The appliance, a testament to the advancements in electrical technology during the 20th century, is shown in an empty room with its door open, revealing its colorful compartments. The engraving on the motor, visible on the bottom left, proudly displays the AEESA logo and the words "Anglo-Espanola, S.A., Barcelona." AEESA, a public corporation limited by shares, was a Spanish electrical engineering and manufacturing company that was a joint venture between the British and Spanish governments. The company was established in 1923 and played a significant role in the development of the electrical industry in Spain. The production of this electric refrigerator marked a major milestone in the company's history, as it was the first of its kind to be manufactured in the country. The refrigerator, a contemporary appliance of the era, was a significant departure from the traditional icebox or cooler. Its electric motor allowed for a consistent temperature, making it a more efficient and convenient alternative for preserving food and drinks. The use of color in the design of the appliance was also a departure from the monochromatic designs of the time, adding to its appeal and making it a desirable household item. This photograph, with its rich history and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past and the evolution of electrical appliances in Spain during the 20th century.
