EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the 5th Division storming by escalade the ramparts of San Vincente during the Peninsular War. The illustration, taken from "Battles of the Nineteenth Century" by Archibald Forbes, G. A. Henty, and Major Arthur Griffiths, showcases the bravery and determination of British soldiers as they ascend the city wall at the bastion of San Vincente in April 1812. Led by General Sir James Leith, these courageous men risk life and limb to breach enemy defenses. With rifles in hand and fire raging around them, they press forward undeterred by falling comrades or looming danger. Each soldier's face reveals a mix of fear and resolve as they push onward towards victory. The litho print beautifully captures this intense battle scene with intricate detail. From every climbing soldier to each weapon raised high above their heads, it is evident that this image represents not only a historic event but also an artistic masterpiece. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from William Barnes Wollen's collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the heroism displayed on those ancient walls. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and justice during one of history's most significant conflicts. This print is more than just an artwork; it is a testament to human resilience and triumph over adversity - an enduring symbol that will forever inspire us all.
