EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the pivotal moment of the Siege and Conquest of Irun during the First Carlist War in Spain, which took place on May 17, 1837. The scene unfolds outside the city walls, where the liberal troops, led by General Lacy Evans, are poised to take control of the strategic fortress from the Carlists. The sun casts a warm, golden light over the outdoor scene, bathing the landscape in rich colors that bring the image to life. The National Library of Spain in Madrid houses this historical print, which provides a glimpse into the past and the intense military conflict that ravaged the country during this period. The Carlist Wars were a series of civil wars fought over the succession to the throne of Isabella II of Spain, with the liberal and conservative factions vying for power. General Lacy Evans, a British military officer, commanded the liberal forces during the siege of Irun. The engraving captures the determination and resolve of his troops as they prepare to breach the city walls and secure their victory. The Carlists, led by Don Carlos, were a conservative faction that sought to restore the traditional absolutist monarchy and resist the liberal reforms that were being implemented. This evocative image is a testament to the courage and tenacity of the soldiers involved in the conflict and the significant role that Spain played in European history during the 19th century. The horizontal composition and the clear, detailed engraving technique add to the visual appeal and historical significance of the print.
