EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Map of the Battle of Arcole" takes us back in time to the intense Italian campaigns during the French Revolutionary Wars. Published in 1848 by William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh & London, this meticulously detailed map offers a bird's-eye view of the historic Battle of Arcole that unfolded from 15th to 17th November 1796. The artist behind this masterpiece is Alexander Keith Johnston (1804-71), whose skillful cartography brings forth a visual narrative of this significant conflict. The battle itself was fought between Napoleon Bonaparte's French army and their Austrian counterparts on the Bridge of Arcole. As we delve into this print, we witness two formidable armies strategically positioned on either side of the bridge. The map showcases not only their positions but also highlights key landmarks and geographical features crucial to understanding the battlefield dynamics. With its vibrant colours and intricate details, this engraving transports us back to a critical moment in history when nations clashed for supremacy. It serves as a testament to both military strategy and artistic craftsmanship. Part of The Stapleton Collection, this remarkable piece captures an era defined by war and revolution. Its historical significance combined with its aesthetic appeal makes it an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to mapping or European military history.
