EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Aughrim, which took place on 12th July 1691. The illustration, taken from "British Battles on Land and Sea" published in 1915, was skillfully created by William Barnes Wollen (1857-1936), showcasing his talent as an artist. The scene depicted in this lithograph showcases a pivotal moment during the battle, highlighting the sheer magnitude of this historic event. With soldiers clad in British uniforms engaged in fierce combat, weapons clashing and smoke billowing around them, it is evident that this was a brutal conflict. As we delve into history through this image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely during campaigns like these. The navy's involvement is also hinted at with ships visible in the background, emphasizing its significance to this particular battle. Wollen's attention to detail brings life to each soldier portrayed here - their determination etched onto their faces as they fight for victory. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the horrors faced by those involved in war throughout history. Preserved within a private collection and now available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our past while honoring those who were part of such significant historical events.
