EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1845 showcases Geronimo Valdes, a prominent figure in the military history of Spain. Serving as Lieutenant General of the army of Elizabeth II during the tumultuous 1st Carlist War, Valdes played a crucial role in this significant conflict. The image portrays Valdes with an air of authority and determination. His stern gaze reflects his unwavering commitment to defending Queen Elizabeth II's reign against the Carlists, who sought to challenge her legitimacy. The vertical composition adds to the gravity and intensity of the scene, emphasizing Valdes' importance on the battlefield. Santiago Ortega skillfully engraved this historical moment, capturing not only Valdes' physical appearance but also his significance within Spanish military history. Although little is known about Ortega himself or how he came across this particular subject matter, his work has preserved an important chapter in Spain's past. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by individuals like Geronimo Valdes during times of war. It offers us a glimpse into a turbulent period when loyalty was tested and alliances were forged amidst political turmoil. As we admire this piece today, let us remember those who fought valiantly for their beliefs and honor their contributions to our shared heritage.
