EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Portuguese Assault on Aden" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The illustration, created by Gaspar Correia in 1858, depicts the Portuguese navy's audacious attack on the Yemeni city of Aden in 1513. Led by the formidable Afonso de Albuquerque, this assault marked the first European incursion into Aden and was part of a larger colonial campaign against Arab and Ottoman forces. The image showcases the sheer might of the Portuguese navy as warships dominate the Gulf of Aden, ready to unleash their firepower upon the city's defenses. Towering mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to this intense battle scene, highlighting both the strategic importance and challenging terrain faced by these imperial conquerors. As we delve deeper into this historical narrative captured within "Legends of India" it becomes evident that this print symbolizes more than just an act of aggression. It represents an era when naval supremacy played a pivotal role in shaping global politics and trade routes. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are transported back to witness this clash between two worlds - one seeking territorial expansion while another defending its homeland. This print serves as a reminder of how history is shaped through conquests and conflicts but also prompts us to reflect on our collective past with curiosity and understanding.
