Sketches of the country, character, and costume, in Portugal and Spain, made during the campaign, and on the route of the British army, in 1808 and 1809
A London travel book of 1813 by William Bradford, published by Howlett & Brimmer for John Booth, recording the British army's campaign routes through Portugal and Spain in 1808 and 1809 for a British readership. Its hand-coloured aquatint views are shown rotated sideways here, and they show a hilltop town skyline, a stone aqueduct of many arches, a walled road cut into rocky slopes, and figures on horseback and on foot in the landscape, offering a designer studies of panoramic townscape, rough terrain and period dress.
