The Attack upon Guadeloupe, by the troops under the command of Lt. Gen. Beckwith, on the 3rd of February 1810 at midnight
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to a pivotal moment in history during the Napoleonic Wars. The image depicts a moonlit battlefield, illuminated by the soft glow of a crescent moon hanging in an ink-black sky. In this dramatic scene, British troops led by Lieutenant General Beckwith launch their assault upon Guadeloupe. The artist, William Henry Brooke, skillfully captures the intensity and chaos of war with his detailed engraving. Soldiers armed with sabers engage in fierce combat against French forces amidst billowing smoke and flashes of steel. The night becomes alive as these brave men fight for control over this strategic Caribbean island. Published in 1810 within "The Stationers Almanac" this colored engraving serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece. It commemorates the successful capture of Guadeloupe by the British navy earlier that year. As we gaze upon this evocative print from London's National Army Museum collection, we are reminded not only of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited on that fateful night but also of how art can preserve significant moments for generations to come. This piece stands as a testament to human resilience and determination amidst conflict—a timeless reminder etched into history through Brooke's masterful craftsmanship.
