EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back in time to one of the most significant battles of the Napoleonic Wars. The scene depicts the Battle of Corunna, which unfolded on a chilling winter day in La Coruna, Spain, on January 16th, 1809. As we gaze upon this hand-coloured engraving viewed from the sea, we witness an intense clash between two formidable forces: the English under Sir John Moore and the French army. In a remarkable turn of events, it was the British who emerged victorious that day. However, their triumph came at a great cost. The image captures not only the ferocity of battle but also its tragic aftermath. In this historic moment frozen in time, we see Sir John Moore himself being mortally wounded during his valiant efforts to secure victory for his men. This print serves as a poignant reminder of both heroism and sacrifice exhibited by soldiers on both sides during this brutal conflict. It allows us to reflect upon the immense toll that war takes on individuals and nations alike. With its vibrant colours and intricate details meticulously captured through engraving techniques, this artwork transports us back to a pivotal moment in history when destinies were shaped and lives forever changed.
