EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton, a prominent figure in history. Engraved by the talented John Raphael Smith in 1782, this lithograph captures the essence of Tarleton's commanding presence. Measuring at an impressive 60x39.4 cm, it is housed within the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. In this portrait, we see Colonel Tarleton donning his uniform from the British Legion or Tarletons Green Horse regiment during the American War of Independence. His stern expression and confident stance exude authority and determination as he stands amidst a battlefield with cannons and horses surrounding him. Known for his ruthless tactics and fierce reputation on the battlefield, Banastre Tarleton was often referred to as "Bloody Ban". This epithet stemmed from his involvement in several brutal encounters during the war. Despite being labeled a butcher by some, there is no denying his prowess as an officer. Joshua Reynolds skillfully captured every detail of Colonel Tarleton's appearance, ensuring that future generations would remember this influential military leader. As we gaze upon this remarkable lithograph today, we are transported back to a time when courage and sacrifice shaped nations.
