EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite aquatint print from the series "A Series of Views of the Principal Occurrences of the Campaigns in Spain and Portugal" during the Peninsular War (1808-1814), provides a captivating glimpse into the daily life of soldiers encamped on the evening of May 19, 1811. The print, engraved by C. Turner after Major T. St. Clair, was published by Turner, Colnaghi, and Boydell on October 10, 1812. The image showcases the diverse activities and occupations within the soldiers' encampment. In the foreground, a group of soldiers huddle around a campfire, cooking their meals and sharing stories. Nearby, others tend to their horses, brushing them down and checking their tack. In the background, a sentry stands guard, keeping watch over the camp. The village of Villa Velha, with its red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, can be seen in the distance. The intricate details in the print, from the soldiers' uniforms to the individual blades of grass, are a testament to the skill of the engraver and the dedication of the publisher to documenting the events of the Peninsular War. The aquatint process, a popular method of printmaking at the time, allowed for a wide range of tonal values and subtle shading, resulting in a highly detailed and realistic image. This print offers a unique perspective into the daily life of soldiers during wartime, providing a glimpse into the routines and activities that sustained them during their campaigns. The combination of historical significance and artistic merit makes "Troops Bivouacked near the Village of Villa Velha" a valuable addition to any collection of military history or fine art.
