EDITORS COMMENTS
In this copperplate engraving from the 18th century, we see a Cavalry General blatantly ignoring an order to support the infantry in battle. The scene is filled with tension and drama as the general's horse stands defiantly while he turns his back on his fellow soldiers who are desperately in need of assistance. The satirical illustration by Timothy Bobbin (John Collier) captures the essence of human passions and flaws, showcasing how pride and arrogance can lead to disastrous consequences on the battlefield. The intricate details in Thomas Sanders' engraving bring this moment to life, highlighting the general's disregard for authority and duty. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the complexities of war and leadership. The cavalry division plays a crucial role in supporting ground troops, yet here we witness a leader who chooses self-interest over solidarity with his comrades. This print serves as a timeless commentary on power dynamics within military hierarchies and raises questions about loyalty, responsibility, and honor. It is a poignant reminder that even those in positions of authority are not immune to making selfish decisions that can have grave repercussions for those under their command.
