EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lithograph, titled "Royal Artillery, siege guns, 1854 circa" showcases the impressive firepower of the Royal Artillery during a siege in the mid-19th century. Created by George Bryant Campion and reproduced by Graf, this print offers a glimpse into the military might of that era. The image depicts a scene in which an 18-pounder siege gun is joined by a 10-inch howitzer in a bustling siege battery. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element from the soldiers manning the artillery to the intricate design of each weapon has been meticulously captured. Published by R Ackermann and Sons between 1845 and 1846 as part of their series "A Royal Artillery" this print exemplifies both historical accuracy and artistic finesse. It transports viewers back in time to witness firsthand the intensity and precision required for successful warfare during sieges. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this piece serves as a testament to British military prowess during times of conflict. Its vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise somber subject matter, reminding us of both the artistry involved in creating such prints and the bravery exhibited on battlefields long ago. As we admire this engraving today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also of our shared human history marked by war and technological advancements. This print stands as an enduring tribute to those who served with dedication and valor within Britain's esteemed Royal Artillery.
