EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment of the "Death of Sir John Moore, La Coruna, Spain, 17th January 1809". In this historical image, we witness the aftermath of the Battle of Corunna during the Peninsular War. General Sir John Moore, a valiant British commander, led his forces against a formidable French army under Marshal Soult's command. Despite being outnumbered and facing imminent defeat, Moore's strategic retreat allowed for an extraordinary evacuation by sea. However, it was during this fierce battle that he sustained mortal wounds that would ultimately claim his life. The photograph immortalizes the heroism and sacrifice displayed by this remarkable war hero. The significance of Sir John Moore is further emphasized through Charles Wolfe's moving poem "The Burial of Sir John Moore" published in 1817. This poetic tribute pays homage to Moore's bravery and commemorates his burial at midnight within La Coruna Citadel. Within this vividly colored aquatint print from James Jenkins' renowned collection "The Martial Achievements of Great Britain and her Allies" we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history. The image not only portrays the valorous actions on the battlefield but also serves as a testament to Scotland's contribution to Britain's military might. As we gaze upon this powerful depiction, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit exhibited by soldiers like General Sir John Moore throughout the Napoleonic Wars. Their unwavering dedication to their country and their willingness to make ultimate sacrifices continue to inspire generations today.
