EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Passage of the Bidassoa" offers a vivid depiction of the challenging conditions faced by soldiers during the Peninsular War. The lithograph, created by James Prinsep Beadle after an original artwork, showcases a pivotal moment in history. In this scene, we witness Arthur Wellesley, also known as the Duke of Wellington, leading his troops across the treacherous river amid hostile weather. As rain pours down relentlessly in Spain's Pyrenees region, cavalrymen and infantry soldiers press forward with determination and resilience. The image not only captures the intensity of warfare but also highlights scientific aspects such as meteorology. Droplets glisten on their uniforms while meteorologists observe and analyze these climatic conditions to better understand how they impact military operations. As Prince of Orange commands his platoon alongside Wellington's army, one can almost feel the tension and anticipation that permeate this war zone. This engraving serves as a testament to both human bravery and scientific methods employed during this era. "The Passage of the Bidassoa" is more than just a historical illustration; it encapsulates an entire chapter in Napoleonic conquests. It invites viewers to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought for their nations amidst challenging circumstances.
