"The Spanish Army: A Historical Journey through War and Conflict" Step into the past with these captivating sketches and engravings that depict the valor, costumes, and battles of the Spanish Army. From the intense War between Spain and Morocco to the heroic Relief of Constance in 1633, these images offer a glimpse into significant moments in history. One engraving showcases General Prim, commanding the Second Corps of the Spanish Army during their campaign in Morocco. His leadership and strategic prowess are evident as he leads his troops fearlessly into battle. In another engraving, we witness Philip's unwavering determination as he charges again and again until being pulled off his horse by English infantry. This moment symbolizes both bravery and sacrifice on behalf of Spain. The Siege of Algiers by Charles V is captured in a powerful black-and-white photograph. The image portrays the sheer magnitude of this conflict, highlighting both its historical significance and impact on Spain's military might. However, not all depictions are honorable. A propaganda picture from 1573 falsely portrays brutality within the Spanish army after Haarlem's surrender during the Eighty Years War. Although civilians were spared upon payment for their lives, it reveals how misinformation can shape public perception even centuries ago. Moving forward in time to more recent conflicts, engravings document events such as The Spanish-American War—a turning point for Spain's global influence—and further glimpses into Hispano-Moroccan Wars showcase ongoing struggles faced by both nations throughout history. These sketches provide an intriguing insight into various aspects of warfare involving the Spanish Army—its triumphs, challenges, sacrifices made by soldiers on different fronts over centuries.
