EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the likeness of William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1721-1765), the third son of King George II, as he is depicted wearing the Medal of the Order of the Bath, which he was awarded in 1765 in recognition of his military achievements. The Duke is shown in full military regalia, with a trumpet bearing the royal crest at his side, signifying his role as a commander in the British Army. The background of the print features an angel, symbolizing victory, holding a laurel wreath and a palm branch, further emphasizing the Duke's military triumphs. William Augustus rose to prominence during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, leading the government forces in the decisive Battle of Culloden against the Scottish Jacobites, who sought to restore the Stuart monarchy. The battle, which took place on April 16, 1746, marked the end of the rebellion and solidified the Hanoverian succession. The Duke's victory at Culloden earned him the title "Butcher of Culloden" among the Jacobites, due to the heavy casualties inflicted on their side. Despite the controversy surrounding his military tactics, William Augustus's role in preserving the Hanoverian dynasty and maintaining the peace in Britain was significant. The Medal of the Order of the Bath, which he is wearing in this print, was established by King George I in 1725 to recognize military merit, and the Duke's receipt of this honor in 1765 underscores his enduring reputation as a distinguished military leader and loyal servant of the crown.
