EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures a pivotal moment during the Peninsular War, a brutal conflict that raged across the Iberian Peninsula from 1807 to 1814. In the midst of battle, French generals are depicted burning decrees in defiance of their enemies - Spain, Britain, and Portugal. The flames illuminate their faces with determination and defiance as they seek to assert Napoleon's control over the region. The Peninsular War was a key theater of the Napoleonic Wars, with both sides fighting fiercely for dominance. The image symbolizes the struggle for power and authority in Europe during this tumultuous period. The generals' actions speak volumes about their commitment to Napoleon's empire and their willingness to go to any lengths to achieve victory.

The smoke rising from the burning decrees serves as a poignant reminder of the destruction wrought by war. This engraving is not just a work of art; it is a window into a turbulent time in European history when empires clashed and nations fought for independence. It stands as a testament to the courage and tenacity of those who lived through these tumultuous times.
