EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Battle of Busaco in 1815, as depicted by renowned artist Edward Orme. The print is part of a collection box issued by Orme to commemorate the military campaigns led by the legendary Duke of Wellington. From "The Army Pageant" edited and arranged by F. R. Benson and Algernon Tudor Craig, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into an important chapter in British history. In this scene, Lord Wellington's army stands resolute amidst the rugged terrain of Serra do Bucaco in Portugal. Men and animals alike are portrayed with remarkable detail, showcasing their determination and bravery on the battlefield. Horses gallop through smoke-filled air while injured soldiers press forward, embodying the spirit of warfare during that era. The color palette chosen by Orme adds depth to this commemorative piece; it beautifully captures both the natural beauty of Portugal's mountain range and the chaos brought about by war. This circular composition serves as a memento for those who fought valiantly during these Napoleonic Wars. As we delve into this 19th-century battlefield through Orme's artistry, we are reminded not only of Britain's rich military history but also its literary contributions. This print stands as a testament to how art can convey historical events with such vividness that they become timeless treasures for generations to come.
