EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Battles of the British Army, Burial of Sir John Moore in the Citadel of Corunna" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II, this engraving captures the solemnity and heroism surrounding the burial of Sir John Moore during the Peninsular War. The image showcases a scene filled with emotion and reverence as soldiers from the British Army pay their final respects to their fallen comrade. The Citadel of Corunna stands tall in the background, serving as a poignant backdrop for this somber occasion. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing both the grandeur of the citadel and the grief-stricken expressions on each soldier's face. Published in The Illustrated London News on September 7th, 1895, this illustration serves as a reminder of not only Sir John Moore's sacrifice but also highlights one chapter within an extensive history of battles fought by British forces throughout Europe. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era where military valor and honor were held at utmost importance. As we observe this powerful image today, it transports us back to that time when nations clashed on foreign soil for ideals larger than themselves. It reminds us to reflect upon those who have made great sacrifices for our freedoms while also honoring their memory with gratitude and respect.
