EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jeffrey Amherst, 1st Baron Amherst, an influential English soldier from the early 18th century. The image, taken around 1910, portrays Amherst in his military uniform and iconic wig. Known for his significant role in the war against the French in North America between 1758 and 1760, he successfully captured Montreal in 1760. Later on, Amherst was appointed as Governor of Virginia in 1763. However, this portrait also highlights a controversial aspect of Amherst's legacy. He has been linked to an alleged plan involving germ warfare during the Pontiac uprising of 1763. It is believed that he intended to supply Native Americans with smallpox-infected blankets as a means to quell their rebellion. Historians remain divided on whether this plan was actually executed. Amherst's military prowess led him to be appointed Commander-in-Chief of the British army in 1778 until his retirement in 1795. This chromolithograph captures not only his commanding presence but also provides insight into the political climate and colonialism prevalent during that time. The photograph serves as a reminder of both Amherst's achievements and controversies within British history. It offers viewers a glimpse into one man's journey through war and power while raising questions about ethics and morality within military strategy.
