The captivating print captures the intense duel between Marcellus and Virdumarus, as illustrated by John Harris Valda in Hutchinson's History of the Nations. Dating back to the early 1900s, this color lithograph showcases the remarkable talent of Valda in bringing historical events to life. In this scene, we witness Marcellus, a renowned Roman general from around 268-208 BC, engaging in combat with Viridomarus, a Gaulish military leader who met his fate in 222 BC. Both warriors are depicted wielding swords and shields while locked in a fierce confrontation on the battlefield. Valda's attention to detail is evident as he portrays every aspect of this clash: from the determination etched on their faces to their strategic positioning amidst an atmosphere charged with tension. The artist skillfully conveys not only their physical strength but also their unwavering resolve. This children's illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the conflicts that have shaped our history. It encapsulates both the bravery and brutality inherent within battles fought by soldiers like Marcellus and Virdumarus. Displayed proudly within a private collection today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its portrayal of two formidable adversaries engaged in an epic fight for victory.
