EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical treasure, the "Map of the Battle of Bautzen" published by William Blackwood and Sons in Edinburgh & London in 1848. Crafted with meticulous detail, this hand-coloured engraving by Alexander Keith Johnston (1804-71) transports us back to the intense events of May 20-21,1813. The Battle of Bautzen was a significant clash during the War of the Sixth Coalition, and this map offers an aerial view that allows us to comprehend its strategic positions. With precision and artistry, Johnston captures the armies involved in this conflict: French forces on one side and Prussian and Russian troops on the other. As we examine this remarkable piece, it becomes evident that mapping was not merely a practical exercise but also an artistic endeavor. The intricate engravings depict every minute detail of terrain and troop movements. This map serves as both a historical document for military strategists studying past battles and an exquisite work of art for enthusiasts appreciating cartography from the nineteenth century. Preserved within a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this image is now available for public viewing thanks to Bridgeman Images. Its inclusion here reminds us that history is not confined to dusty textbooks; it can be experienced through visual representations like these prints. Let yourself be transported into history's grasp as you explore this extraordinary map print—a testament to human ingenuity in capturing moments frozen in time.
