EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving captures the raw intensity of the Third Carlist War (1872-1876) in Spain, specifically a moment during the Battle of Berga in November 1875. The image portrays a group of Catalan militiamen, or somaten, bravely standing their ground against the advancing Carlist troops. The mountainous terrain of Berga, located in the Catalonia region, is depicted in its rugged splendor, with the sun casting long shadows over the landscape. The Catalan militiamen, dressed in traditional red and blue striped uniforms, are shown with determined expressions, ready to defend their homeland against the white-clad Carlist soldiers. The American influence on the conflict is evident in the presence of modern rifles and artillery, which were supplied to the Spanish government by the United States. This historic moment was captured by the illustrators of 'La Ilustraciòn Española y Americana,' a prominent Spanish publication of the time. The engraving provides a striking visual representation of the courage and resilience displayed by the Catalan militia during the Third Carlist War, a pivotal period in Spanish history.
