EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print depicts John Manners, Marquis of Granby (1721-1770), a renowned military commander of the 18th century. Born into the noble Manners family, Granby's military career began at a young age when he joined the British Army in 1739. He quickly rose through the ranks, earning a reputation as a brilliant tactician and a charismatic leader. During the War of Austrian Succession, Granby served under the Duke of Cumberland and distinguished himself in several battles, including the Battle of Dettingen in 1743. However, it was during the Seven Years' War that Granby truly made his mark on military history. He led the British cavalry charge at the Battle of Minden in 1759, a decisive victory that helped secure British control over Hanover. For his bravery and leadership, Granby was awarded the Order of the Bath and the title of Earl of Granby. Granby's military successes were not limited to the battlefield. He was also known for his innovative military reforms, including the introduction of red coats and bearskin hats for British soldiers, which became iconic symbols of the British military. Granby's influence extended beyond the military as well, as he was a patron of the arts and a prominent figure in London society. This print captures the Marquis of Granby in his military uniform, with a stern yet determined expression on his face. The intricate details of his uniform, including his sword and sash, are beautifully rendered, highlighting the elegance and grandeur of the military elite of the time. The print serves as a reminder of Granby's significant contributions to British military history and his enduring legacy as a military commander and nobleman.
