This colored engraving, titled "Invasion of Portugal. (1762). Taking of Salvatierra on September 16,1762" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a pivotal event during the invasion of Portugal, showcasing the capture of Salvatierra on that fateful day. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical scene to life, allowing us to witness the intensity and drama of the battle firsthand. The artist's skillful rendering captures every nuance - from the soldiers engaged in combat to the architectural beauty of Salvatierra itself. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Spain's military might during this era, highlighting their determination and strategic prowess in expanding their empire. It also sheds light on Portugal's vulnerability at that time, facing an overwhelming force determined to conquer its lands.
