EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a significant moment in history. The image depicts the tragic demise of Major General Robert Ross, an esteemed British army officer who served during the Napoleonic Wars. In this poignant scene, we witness General Ross falling into the arms of his fellow officer after being fatally wounded while commanding troops at North Point, just before the Battle of Baltimore in 1814. The intensity and gravity of the situation are palpable as both men stand on horseback amidst a chaotic battlefield. The engraving was featured in "The History of the War". Volume III by Hewson Clarke, Esq. , published in London in 1816. Its monochrome aesthetic adds to its historical allure and evokes a sense of solemnity and reverence for those who fought valiantly during this tumultuous period. This powerful image not only commemorates General Ross's sacrifice but also serves as a reminder of the bravery displayed by countless individuals throughout history. It stands as a testament to their unwavering dedication to their country and their willingness to lay down their lives for what they believed in. As we reflect upon this photograph print, we are reminded of the profound impact that war has had on nations and individuals alike.
