EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed General Rowland Hill, Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, during his tenure from 1830 to 1835. Created by WH Mote in 1857, this portrait showcases one of Wellington's most trusted lieutenants during the Peninsular War. General Hill played a pivotal role in several military campaigns, earning promotions to Lieutenant-General in 1812 and General in 1825. When Wellington assumed the position of Prime Minister in 1825, Hill was appointed as Commander-in-Chief of the army in England until 1839. His exceptional leadership skills and strategic prowess solidified his reputation as an influential figure within the British military. In this engraving, we see General Hill holding a telescope, symbolizing his keen observation skills on the battlefield. Dressed immaculately in his military uniform, he exudes authority and confidence. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this nineteenth-century portrayal. The collaboration between artists Henry William Pickersgill and William Freke Williams brings out every detail of General Hill's distinguished features with remarkable precision. This print serves as a testament to both their artistic talent and General Rowland Hill's significant contributions to British history. As we admire this historical artifact from "England's Battles by Sea and Land" let us remember General Rowland Hill as an exemplary leader who played an instrumental role during times of conflict and upheaval.
