EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Palestro, 19th century (engraving) captures the intensity and drama of one of Europe's last monarch-led battles. Created by renowned artist Gustave Dore, this engraving depicts King Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia amidst his troops as they fiercely engage in combat against the Austrians on May 30-31,1859. In this historical illustration, Dore skillfully portrays the chaos and bravery that unfolded on the battlefield. The presence of King Victor Emmanuel II among his soldiers symbolizes his dedication to leading from the frontlines and fighting alongside his men for a united Italy. The Battle of Palestro holds significance as it is believed to be the final European battle where a European monarch actively participated. This print serves as a visual testament to an era when kings led their armies into battle. Ken Welsh's expert photography brings out every intricate detail in this engraving, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in its historical significance.
