EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Agostina, the Maid of Saragossa" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts Agostina Zaragoza Domènech, an iconic figure from the Spanish War of Independence in the early 19th century. The maid's fierce determination is palpable as she stands tall with her musket by her side. Her piercing gaze reflects both strength and vulnerability, embodying the spirit of resistance against French forces during the Siege of Saragossa. The artist skillfully captures Agostina's heroic stance amidst a backdrop of chaos and destruction. The details are meticulously etched, showcasing every fold in her clothing and each strand of hair blowing in the wind. This attention to detail adds depth to this historical portrayal. This particular print is part of a private collection but was originally featured in "The Illustrated History of the World" published by Ward Lock around 1880. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, we can now appreciate this artwork with enhanced clarity while preserving its original charm. As we admire this engraving today, let it serve as a reminder of Agostina's bravery and resilience—a testament to all those who have fought for their freedom throughout history.
