EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the aftermath of the infamous Battle of Culloden, a pivotal event in British history that took place on April 16, 1746. The image shows Royal soldiers mopping up the remnants of the Pretenders forces on Drummossie Moor, where the brutal reprisals carried out by Cumberland earned him the chilling sobriquet of "Butcher."
The scene is haunting and evocative, with a stark contrast between the savagery of battle and the serene beauty of the moor. The soldiers appear weary but determined as they carry out their grim task, marking a decisive victory for Britain's royal forces.
The events at Culloden were part of a larger rebellion led by Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie. His defeat at Culloden effectively ended any hope for restoring Stuart rule in Britain and solidified British control over Scotland.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured this momentous historical event with striking detail and emotion. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made on both sides during this tumultuous period in British history. It is a testament to the bravery and brutality that defined this chapter in our past.
