This vibrant and detailed print captures the historic moment of Brigadier-General Cadogan's Horse forcing the French Line during the Battle of Elixheim on July 18,1705. The battle took place in Brabant, modern-day Belgium, as part of the War of Spanish Succession. The image showcases a chaotic scene on the battlefield, with British and allied forces led by Marlborough breaking through the formidable line of French defensive fieldworks that stretched from Antwerp to Namur. In this pivotal moment, Cadogan's Horse charges forward fearlessly, their determination evident in their eyes.
