The Civil War in Spain: Serrano and his staff at Montellano, 1874. 'The battle of April 30 - an important action in the late campaign - was begun by Serrano occupying the heights of Montellano and Mercadillo, which overlook the Somorrostro valley. In one of our Artist's sketches Marshal Serrano and Admiral Topete, with the staff, are seen where they stood upon the hill of Montellano. The mountain rising in the background is that of Galdames'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
