EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, created by Gordon Frederick Browne in 1887, transports us back to the 18th century during the colonial era. The illustration is taken from G. A. Henty's renowned book "With Wolfe in Canada, or The Winning of a Continent" published by Blackie and Son Ltd. The scene depicts General James Wolfe, a British Army officer celebrated for his triumph over the French in Canada. Concealed among dense undergrowth along a riverbank, we see him patiently waiting with his fellow soldiers. Their eyes are fixed on an unseen enemy as they take cover behind trees and bushes. This historical fiction artwork captures the tension and anticipation of warfare during this pivotal moment in history when Britain sought to establish its rule over Canada. The artist skillfully portrays the characters' hidden positions while conveying their determination through their poised stances. Browne's attention to detail brings this vivid scene to life; every leaf on each bush seems meticulously rendered. Through this print, we gain insight into both the physical challenges faced by these soldiers navigating treacherous terrain and their mental fortitude as they engage in strategic combat against an elusive foe. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this engraving serves as a testament to the enduring power of historical artistry that continues to captivate audiences today.
