The eagle's fearsome beauty and impressive size have long won the respect and admiration of man ... in all areas of the world. The bird's image has been engraved in coins, like America's ten dollar gold piece. It has been proudly hoisted on battle standards ... leading the troops of Napoleon and the Caesars into battle. In this noble, seemingly fearless bird, the soldier took courage and found the strength he needed to meet his foe. To be like an eagle in courage and strength was a goal many soldiers found worth attaining. In light of this fact, it is easy to understand why this proud bird has been a favorite of military leaders for hundreds of years. The eagle featured in this artwork is the Spanish Imperial Eagle. It is a bird of courage and strength that has long won the admiration of mankind.
