EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment when British artillery forces courageously enter the enemy lines at Tel-el-Kebir, Egypt on 13 September 1882. Painted by John Charlton in 1883, this oil masterpiece showcases a significant event during the late 19th century. The scene depicts members of the renowned Black Watch regiment, proudly donning their Scottish helmets and kilts as they charge forward on horseback. With determination etched across their faces, these brave soldiers fearlessly wield bayonets and revolvers while navigating through a treacherous landscape filled with fallen comrades and defeated enemies. The Highland Brigade's flag flutters defiantly in the wind amidst the chaos of battle. The artist masterfully portrays both sides of war - capturing not only the triumphs but also its tragic consequences. Fallen soldiers lie motionless in ditches, serving as a somber reminder of lives lost for victory. Tel-el-Kebir stands witness to this historic clash between British forces and Egyptian adversaries. The painting vividly illustrates the sheer bravery exhibited by these men who risked everything for their country's cause. Charlton's attention to detail is evident throughout this powerful artwork; every stroke brings life to each figure and weapon depicted. This remarkable piece serves as an enduring testament to those who fought valiantly during one of history's most pivotal battles
