EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Battle of Corunna, a crucial engagement during the Napoleonic Wars. The image provides a unique perspective from the sea, showcasing the intensity and chaos of this momentous event that took place on 16 January 1809 in La Coruna, Spain. In this engraving, we witness the British forces led by General Sir John Moore retreating from a much larger French army. Despite being outnumbered, they valiantly hold off their adversaries long enough to secure an evacuation by sea. The smoke billowing from cannons and muskets fills the air as ships navigate through treacherous waters to rescue these brave soldiers. Tragically, it was during this battle that General Sir John Moore sustained mortal wounds. His sacrifice and leadership are immortalized in this print as he courageously fought alongside his men until his last breath. The image not only showcases the dramatic events of war but also highlights various elements such as geographical features like the sea and transportation methods like sailing boats used for evacuation. Its vivid colors bring to life the atmosphere of this nineteenth-century conflict. Preserved by Ann Ronan Pictures and collected by enthusiasts worldwide, this print serves as a powerful reminder of both human resilience in times of war and the significant impact individuals can have on historical events.
