Esta é a mais famosa obra com o registo das principais batalhas do exército britânico nas guerras napoleónicas. Com exceção das gravuras 25 e 31, retrata em ordem cronológica as acções militares britânicas durante as campanhas de Napoleão, com particular incidência nos eventos na Península Ibérica, desde a derrota e retirada de La Coruña até à vitória em Talavera e os feitos do exército Anglo-Português orientado pelo brilhante estratega Duque de Wellington, apoiado pelos irregulares espanhóis não afectos a José Bonaparte.

6 das gravuras reportam a batalhas no território português, como Roliça, Vimieiro, Grijó, Bussaco, Barrosa e Pombal, bem como a muitas outras a batalhas no território de Espanha, na Raia, batalhas em que o contributo do exército Anglo-Português foi decisivo.

As gravuras das batalhas foram executadas a partir de desenhos de William Heath e abertas em chapas por T. Sutherland, D. Havell, M. Dubourg e J. Hill.

Gerard Frederick Towlerton Leather, Edimburgo 1865 - 1941, from the Northumberland Fusiliers, later colonel, and retired as such.

This is the most famous work with the record of the main battles the English Army took part during the Napoleonic Wars, with particular emphasis on events in the Iberian Peninsula, from the defeat and withdrawal of La Coruña to the victory in Talavera and the feats of the Anglo-Portuguese army led by the brilliant strategist Duke of Wellington, supported by irregular Spaniards not devoted to Joseph Bonaparte.

6 of the engravings depict battles in Portuguese territory (Roliça, Vimieiro, Grijó, Bussaco, Barrosa and Pombal), and many others to battles within the Spanish territory, near the border, battles for which the contribution of the Anglo-Portuguese army was decisive.

The prints were engraved by T Sutherland, D.Havell, M. Dubourg and J. Hill from drawings by William Heath.

William Heath (1794-1840) was known for his military illustrations and later, from 1820 onwards, for the first social cartoons published in magazines that he helped to found. Some of his works were published under the pseudonym of Paul Pry.
