EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Oporto, from The Victories of the Duke of Wellington" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Engraved by T. Fielding and published in 1819, it beautifully captures a colored engraving by Richard Westall. The scene depicts the Royal Green Jackets and Portuguese forces triumphantly defeating the French during the Peninsular War. The image showcases a wall that stands as both a symbol of victory and resilience. Amidst this backdrop, we witness soldiers who have bravely fought for their cause but are now wounded. Their injuries serve as reminders of the sacrifices made on this battlefield in 1809. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the tension between pain and relief experienced by these injured warriors. It serves as a testament to their unwavering determination and commitment to protecting their homeland. Beyond its historical significance, this print also highlights the importance of medicine and healthcare during times of war. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and conflict, efforts were made to tend to those wounded on both sides. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, let us remember those who fought valiantly for freedom and honor throughout history – forever immortalized within these brushstrokes captured by Richard Westall's skilled hand.
