EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts General Wolfe, the renowned British military leader, gazing down upon the city of Quebec with an air of determination and strategic brilliance. The artist, Charles Mills Sheldon, skillfully captures the essence of this historical event. With meticulous attention to detail, he portrays General Wolfe standing atop the Heights of Abraham - a significant vantage point that would ultimately shape the outcome of the Battle of Quebec in 1759. As we gaze at this powerful engraving, we can almost feel the weighty atmosphere surrounding General Wolfe and his soldiers. The city below them is alive with activity; its streets bustling with citizens unaware of what lies ahead. It is a snapshot frozen in time - a moment before chaos ensues. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for The Children's Encyclopedia edited by Arthur Mee. However, it transcends its intended purpose and becomes more than just an educational tool - it becomes a window into our past. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of General Wolfe's bravery and leadership but also of the countless lives impacted by war throughout history. It serves as both a tribute to those who fought valiantly on both sides and as a reminder that even from great heights one must always look down on their actions with humility and compassion.
