EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and historic Battle on Drumossie Moor near Culloden in Scotland, which took place on the 16th of April, 1746. Published by Henry Overton on the 30th of June that same year, this engraving showcases the remarkable talent of an English School artist from the 18th century. The image depicts a scene filled with warfare and chaos. The Duke of Cumberland leads his troops into battle against a revolt led by Scottish highlanders. Cannon fire echoes through the air as cavalry charges forward, creating a sense of urgency and tension. Regiments are strategically positioned across the vast Scottish landscape while encampments dotting Inverness can be seen in the distance. Despite fierce resistance from rebels, it is evident that victory ultimately belongs to Cumberland's forces. Formations remain steadfast amidst explosions and cannon blasts, ensuring their triumph over those who dared to challenge their authority. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of one of Scotland's most significant historical events -the second Jacobite rebellion- where brave men fought for their cause at great cost. It immortalizes not only the battlefield itself but also highlights key locations such as Culloden House, Drummossie Fort Augustus, and other elements associated with this pivotal moment in history. Displayed proudly at London's National Army Museum, this photograph print offers viewers a glimpse into an era when armies clashed and nations were forever changed by conflict.
