EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Fontenoy, fought on May 11, 1745, was a significant engagement in the War of the Austrian Succession between the British and French forces. In this historic image from Mary Evans Picture Library, the British forces are seen preparing to take the heights from the French, with their Dutch allies conspicuously absent from the scene. The Dutch had initially pledged their support to the British, but their commitment wavered due to political considerations, leaving the British forces to face the French alone. The British army, led by the Duke of Cumberland, advanced with determination and resolve, their red coats a stark contrast against the rolling green hills of the battlefield. Cannon fire could be heard in the distance as the two sides prepared for a fierce and bloody encounter. The outcome of the battle hinged on the support of the Dutch forces, whose absence would ultimately lead to the defeat of the British. Despite their valiant efforts, the British forces were unable to overcome the well-entrenched French positions on the heights. The French, under the command of Marshal Maurice de Saxe, put up a strong defense, inflicting heavy casualties on the British. The battle ended with a French victory, marking a significant setback for the British in the War of the Austrian Succession. This evocative print captures the tense moments before the Battle of Fontenoy, a pivotal moment in the annals of European history. The lack of Dutch support, evident in the absence of their forces from the scene, serves as a poignant reminder of the complex political alliances and shifting loyalties that characterized the wars of the 18th century.
