EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ensign Johnny Newcome down with dysentery in his ticket in Medina, Spain" takes us back to the tumultuous era of the Napoleonic Wars. Created by renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson and featured in Colonel David Roberts' book "The Military Adventures of Johnny Newcome" this handcoloured copperplate engraving vividly depicts a scene from the Peninsula Campaign. In this poignant image, Ensign Johnny Newcome is shown lying sick and helpless on his billet or makeshift bed within a crowded sickbay. The meticulous details captured by Rowlandson's etching technique bring forth the grim reality faced by soldiers during war. The viewer can almost feel the stifling atmosphere and hear the moans of suffering soldiers surrounding Ensign Newcome. Dysentery, a common affliction during military campaigns, has rendered him weak and vulnerable. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought for their nations amidst harsh conditions. Rowlandson's skillful use of color adds depth to this somber scene, emphasizing both Ensign Newcome's plight and the chaotic environment that surrounds him. Through his artistry, he transports us back to an era where war was not only about grand battles but also about individual struggles against disease and hardship. This powerful print serves as a testament to both Rowlandson's artistic prowess and the historical significance of Colonel David Roberts' work. It reminds us that behind every great military campaign lies countless untold stories of bravery, sacrifice, and human vulnerability.
