EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the heroic moment when Lieutenant the Honourable R H L J De Montmorency of the 21st Lancers won the prestigious Victoria Cross. Created by William T. Maud in 1898, this print showcases a significant event during the Battle of Khartoum. In this intense scene, we witness Lieutenant De Montmorency fearlessly leading his regiment against a formidable enemy force of dervishes. The chaos and danger are palpable as bullets fly and bodies fall around him. Despite heavy fire, he remains resolute on his horse, displaying unwavering courage and determination. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings forth an atmosphere charged with tension and bravery. We can almost hear the thundering hooves of horses galloping amidst the chaos. Lieutenant De Montmorency's valiant actions are not without consequence; nearby lie fallen comrades who fought alongside him in this fierce battle. Yet, undeterred by their sacrifice, he presses forward, embodying true heroism in its purest form. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of those who have selflessly served their country and risked everything for others' safety. It immortalizes Lieutenant De Montmorency's extraordinary feat that earned him one of Britain's highest military honors - the Victoria Cross - forever preserving his legacy as an exemplar of bravery and honor on both battlefield and canvas.
