The map itself is a testament to both its historical significance and artistic beauty. It depicts the strategic fortifications known as the Lines of Torres Vedras, which were constructed by British forces under the command of Arthur Duke of Wellington during their defense against French invasion. These lines played a crucial role in shaping the outcome of this significant conflict. Ken Welsh's expertly captured print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail and nuance present on this remarkable piece. From tracing each line and contour on this vintage map to observing how it reflects upon the tumultuous events that unfolded over two centuries ago, viewers are transported back in time.
