EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - The Spanish-American War. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving showcases the intensity and bravery of the military forces involved during this tumultuous time. The image depicts Brigadier General W. R. Shafter, who commanded the United States forces in Cuba, alongside Admiral Sampson, a prominent naval figure. In the foreground stands General Lawton, a key leader in the American army during this conflict. Major General Joseph Wheeler can also be seen commanding troops as they engage with Admiral Cervera's fleet near Santiago. The composition exudes action and tension as armed forces from both sides clash amidst smoke-filled battlefields. This historic event took place on Independence Day, adding further significance to its portrayal. Through intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this engraving transports us back to a pivotal moment that shaped nations and altered destinies. It serves as a testament to the courage and sacrifice displayed by those involved in one of America's most defining conflicts. Preserved within private collections for years, this remarkable artwork now finds itself available for all to appreciate thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of our shared history and inspired by those who fought bravely for their beliefs on land and at sea during The Spanish-American War.
