EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment frozen in time - George II at Dettingen, 1743. The illustration is taken from the renowned book "A History of England" by C. R. L Fletcher and Rudyard Kipling, published in 1911. Created by the talented artist Henry Justice Ford, this colour lithograph beautifully captures King George II during the Battle of Dettingen on June 27th, 1743. The scene depicts the British monarch leading his army with great valor and determination on the battlefield. Clad in a majestic military uniform and wielding a sword with authority, King George II stands as a symbol of leadership and strength amidst the chaos of war. This historic event took place during the War of Austrian Succession (1740-48), showcasing not only Britain's military prowess but also its role in European politics. Ford's meticulous attention to detail brings this eighteenth-century scene to life, transporting viewers back to an era filled with grandeur and conflict. The composition exudes an air of power and resilience as soldiers follow their king fearlessly into battle. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable artwork serves as a testament to both history enthusiasts' fascination with past events and artists' ability to capture them for generations to come.
