EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic battle of Torres Vedras in 1810, as illustrated by Lieutenant Colonel Williams and engraved by Terry, G. W. The image is part of the renowned book "England's Battles by Sea and Land". The Peninsular War between British General Arthur Wellesley and Napoleon Bonaparte's troops was a crucial moment in history, and this illustration beautifully depicts the intensity of that conflict. In this scene, we witness the bravery and determination of British soldiers on the battlefield. The smoke from gunfire fills the air as infantrymen engage in combat with their enemies. Each soldier fights valiantly for victory, showcasing their unwavering commitment to their cause. The success achieved by General Wellesley during this campaign led to his prestigious appointment as Marquess de Torres Vedras in 1812. This title symbolizes not only his triumph but also serves as a testament to Portugal's victory against Napoleon's forces. The engraving itself is a masterpiece created by D. Pound and published by The London Printing and Publishing Company. Its intricate details bring life to every element within the composition - from each soldier's uniform to the billowing smoke on the battlefield. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in military history. It reminds us of both the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers and their ultimate triumph over adversity.
