Stopping right along...heh...

ooops, lost my momentum. However, the battle paintings from the 19th century await us. The number of wars going on around the world at any one time is quite amazing. Many of these wars I have never heard about. For example, the Barbary Wars of the early 1800s. Here are some images from the First Barbary War ~~
