Spain. First Carlist War (1833-1840). Assault by the Carlists on the postal service on its way to Vitoria, as it had not military escort. Without touching the postal items, they stole the small luggage of the travellers and the suitcase of certificates, retaining in their possession the driver, with two passengers, with the presumption that their purpose was to capture someone they were looking for and who they knew was on a journey. Engraving. Panorama Espanol, Cronica Contemporanea. Madrid, 1842.
