EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of Saint John of Acre on 8 May 1799 during the Napoleonic Wars. The image, taken from "The Napoleonic Wars" by Sutherland, Dubourg, London and published by Jenkins between 1814-1815, showcases the remarkable talent of the English School in depicting this intense combat scene. Intricately detailed and expertly composed, this photograph transports us back to a time when war shaped nations and defined leaders. The battle itself was a significant turning point as Napoleon Bonaparte's forces attempted to capture the strategic city of Acre. Led by British commander Sir Sidney Smith, the defenders valiantly resisted Napoleon's advances. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and violence that unfolded on that fateful day. Smoke billows from cannons while soldiers engage in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets fixed atop muskets. Amidst this turmoil, we witness acts of heroism and sacrifice as individuals fight for their cause. This historic print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also serves as a reminder of the human cost of war. It allows us to reflect upon those who fought bravely and endured unimaginable hardships during this tumultuous period in history. Leonard de Selva's photography brings new life to this iconic battle scene, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. As we gaze upon this image, let us remember both the triumphs achieved and tragedies suffered
