EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting "The rescue of the Duchess of Popoli from the Miquelets, by the Earl of Peterborough during the Siege of Barcelona, 1705". The image showcases Charles Mordaunt, 3rd Earl of Peterborough and 1st Earl of Monmouth, an esteemed English nobleman and military leader. Alongside him stands Camilla Cantelmo Stuart, Duchess of Popoli. Set against the backdrop of war-torn Barcelona during the early 18th century War of Spanish Succession, this engraving brings to life a daring act that unfolded amidst chaos and conflict. The lawless Catalans known as Miquelets had captured and held captive the courageous duchess until her fateful rescue. With meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy, Ken Welsh's archival photograph transports us back in time. It vividly portrays not only the bravery but also highlights tensions between nations as French-Habsburg rivalries played out on Spanish soil. As we gaze upon this vintage illustration from Cassells Illustrated History of England published around 1890, we are reminded once again that history is shaped by remarkable individuals like Charles Mordaunt who fearlessly led their troops into battle. This picture serves as a testament to their unwavering determination and valorous acts that forever etch their names into our collective memory.
