EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Battles of the British Army, Vittoria" engraving by Richard Caton Woodville II. The image depicts a pivotal moment during the Peninsular War, specifically the Battle of Vittoria. In this scene, we witness the 15th Hussars fearlessly crossing the Bridge of Tres Puentes in pursuit of the retreating French Army. Woodville's attention to detail and mastery of capturing historical events come to life in this artwork commissioned for The Illustrated London News in August 1897. The artist skillfully portrays both the chaos and determination that characterized this significant battle. The composition focuses on showcasing not only the bravery and valor of these British soldiers but also highlights their trusty steeds as they navigate across various types of bridges - from wooden to stone and suspension bridges. This visual contrast adds depth to an already dramatic scene. As viewers, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in European history. Through this artwork, we gain insight into one chapter of Spain's struggle against Napoleon's forces during the early 19th century. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection and serves as a reminder not only of Britain's military prowess but also pays homage to those who fought bravely for freedom on foreign soil.
