EDITORS COMMENTS
The Carlist War in Spain, the Fighting round Bilbao (engraving) captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the intensity and chaos of battle during the Third Carlist War. This 19th-century engraving by English School, now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the fierce conflict that engulfed Spain. The image depicts the occupation of Bilbao by Republican forces as they engage in combat with Carlist troops. The topography of the region is meticulously portrayed, highlighting key locations such as the Bridge of Somorrostro and Monte Janedo. The clash between these opposing factions on February 24th and 25th is vividly illustrated, emphasizing both sides' determination to gain control over strategic positions. As Basque Country meets Aquitaine in France, this confrontation reverberated beyond Spanish borders. The scene showcases not only European military tactics but also bridges representing different eras: pedestrian bridges alongside wooden and stone structures coexist with modern suspension bridges—a testament to human ingenuity amidst turmoil. This print from Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection provides an invaluable historical record of this significant event. It serves as a reminder of how conflicts shape nations and impact lives across generations. Through its intricate details and dramatic portrayal, it invites viewers to reflect on the sacrifices made during times of war while appreciating art's ability to capture moments frozen in time.
