A view of Commodore Nelson receiving the surrender of the San José after the Battle of Cape St Vincent, 14 February 1797. Anglo-Spanish War (1796-1808). 
 The view shows Nelson receiving the Spanish Admiral's sword from the captain of the San José, Don Tomas Delknnena who points backwards at the fallen Spanish Admiral, Don Francisco Zavier Winthuysen, behind whom, kneeling and praying is the Spanish first Lieutenant Zinaco Fone.

A view of the French attack, under the command of Marshal Jean Louis Ebénézer Reynier (1771-1814) on the 3rd Division of the Anglo-Portuguese troops, commanded by Lieutenant-General Thomas Picton (later Sir Thomas Picton; 1758-1815) on 27 September 1810. Napoleonic Wars (1803-15): Peninsular War (1808-14). 
 The strong resistance of the 3rd Division in the Battle of Bussaco resulted in their being called 'the fighting division'. They are shown here, on the heights of the ten-mile-long ridge of Bussaco, repulsing the French who were forced to retreat. Picton, shown to the left, astride a white charger, urges his men onwards while Reynier and his men retreat down the slopes.

Serra do Busacco, 1810 (Serra do Bussaco, Coimbra, Portugal) 40&deg;20'12"N 08&deg;20'12"W

A view of the Anglo-Portuguese army, under the command of Lieutenant-General Arthur Wellesley (later Duke of Wellington, 1769-1852), marching towards Pombal which has been set on fire by the retreating French army commanded by Marshal Michel Ney (1769-1815). Napoleonic Wars (1803-15): Peninsular War (1808-14). 
 This print shows the British troops, dressed in red coats, marching along a sunken, or 'hollow' road, The mounted and foot soldiers dressed in green jackets, to the left, are probably the Portuguese army, whose predominant uniform colour was green. The caption to the print states that the army was being directed by Wellington 'in person'. He is probably the mounted figure, on the right, positioned under a tree with another officer, surveying the landscape through a telescope. The rigours of the march have proved too much for a couple of horses which lie exhausted or dead, and for some soldiers who have collapsed. 
 This is one of a set of twelve prints in the K.Mil. collection (RCINs 735155.a-m) of the principal occurrences of the campaigns in Spain and Portugal in 1810 and 1811 after paintings by Thomas Staunton St Clair. For more information on this set, see RCIN 735155.
