EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print depicts the first siege of Saragossa during the Peninsular War, which took place between 1808 and 1814. The map is an essential piece from the "Atlas de la Guerra de Independencia," a comprehensive work published in 1868 in Madrid, Spain. The map meticulously illustrates the strategic locations and movements during the siege, which took place in June 1808. The Peninsular War was a significant turning point in Spanish history, as it marked the country's successful resistance against the Napoleonic forces led by French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The siege of Saragossa, a city in Aragon, was one of the most notable battles during this period. The Saragossans, led by General Palafox, put up a valiant resistance against the French army, which lasted for several months. The map's intricate details provide a visual representation of the geographical layout of the area surrounding Saragossa during the siege. The white lines on the map indicate the positions of the French and Spanish forces, while the fortifications and strategic points are clearly marked. The map also highlights the relief of the terrain, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the military tactics and strategies employed during the siege. This map is a testament to the rich history of cartography and the significance of the Peninsular War in Spanish history. It is currently housed in the National Library of Madrid, where it continues to be a valuable resource for scholars and history enthusiasts alike. The map's intricate details and historical significance make it a captivating addition to any collection of historical maps or Spanish history.
