EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the distinguished figure of Lieut. General Sir John Moore, K. B. , as depicted by artist Charles Turner in 1909. The original portrait was created by renowned painter Thomas Lawrence and dates back to around 1809. General Sir John Moore played a pivotal role in the Battle of Corunna during the Peninsular War in Spain on January 16,1809. In this historic battle, General Moore led the British forces against a much larger French army commanded by Marshal Soult. Despite being outnumbered, the British soldiers valiantly held off their adversaries long enough to secure an evacuation by sea. Tragically, it was during this fierce encounter that General Moore sustained mortal wounds. The legacy of General Sir John Moore extends beyond his military achievements; he became immortalized through Charles Wolfe's poignant poem "The Burial of Sir John Moore" published in 1817. This stirring composition pays tribute to his bravery and sacrifice on the battlefield. Displayed within these black and white frames is not just a portrait but also a glimpse into Britain's rich military history from the early 19th century. The uniformed figure exudes authority and strength while maintaining a direct gaze that commands attention. This remarkable print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact—a testament to one man's courage amidst warfare—preserved for generations to come thanks to Ralph Nevill's collection titled "British Military Prints.
