EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the pivotal moment of the Passage of the Douro, also known as the Second Battle of Porto or the Battle of the Douro, which took place on May 12, 1809, during the Peninsular War (1807-1814). The scene depicts British and Portuguese forces, led by General Sir John Moore and General Sir Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington), crossing the Douro River in Portugal to engage the French Empire army under Marshal Jean-Andoche Junot. The successful crossing marked a turning point in the war, as it prevented the French from advancing further into Portugal and securing their hold on the Iberian Peninsula. The image showcases the bravery and determination of the soldiers as they navigate the treacherous waters of the Douro River, either on horseback or in boats, while under heavy fire from the French forces on the opposite bank. The soldiers are depicted wielding rifles and bayonets, ready for combat. The horses, too, display remarkable courage as they wade through the water, some with their riders standing in the stirrups for better aim. This print, created in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the military strategies and tactics employed during the Peninsular War. The Passage of the Douro stands as a testament to the resilience and bravery of the British and Portuguese forces in the face of adversity, ultimately leading to a significant victory against the French Empire.
