EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts the pivotal moment of the Battle of Fontenoy, which took place on May 11, 1745, during the War of Austrian Succession. The Duke of Cumberland, commanding the British and Austrian forces, is seen leading his troops in a successful rout of the French army under the Marquis de Marshan. The French lines are in disarray, with soldiers fleeing in panic and their banners being captured by the victorious allies. However, the celebration of this British and Austrian success was short-lived. The Dutch forces, who were also allied with Cumberland, had failed to provide adequate support during the battle. Their absence left the allied forces vulnerable to a counterattack, which eventually led to a French victory and the recapture of the town of Fontenoy. The Battle of Fontenoy was a significant event in European history, marking the end of the War of Austrian Succession and the beginning of the Seven Years' War. The failure of the Dutch allies to provide adequate support was a major factor in the eventual defeat of the allied forces, highlighting the complexities and challenges of coalition warfare during this period. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the tumultuous events of the Battle of Fontenoy and the broader historical context in which it took place.
