EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Map of the Siege of Saragossa" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Second Siege of Zaragoza during the Peninsular War. Published by William Blackwood and Sons in 1848, this detailed map offers a fascinating aerial view of the city and its surroundings. As we delve into this print, we are transported to the early 19th century, where two mighty armies clash on Spanish soil. The positions of both Spanish and French forces are meticulously marked, allowing us to trace their movements throughout the siege. The River Ebro gracefully winds its way through the landscape, acting as a natural barrier that played a crucial role in shaping military strategies. The artist behind this masterpiece is Alexander Keith Johnston, whose skillful cartography brings historical events to life. Every stroke tells a story; every line represents an army's struggle for dominance. This engraving serves not only as a visual representation but also as an invaluable historical document. Now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this print stands as testament to Scotland's rich artistic heritage. Its presence reminds us that art has no boundaries when it comes to preserving our past. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate how maps can transport us across time and space while offering insights into pivotal moments that have shaped our world today.
