EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles Cornwallis, the 2nd Earl and 1st Marquis Cornwallis, in a striking oil on canvas portrait painted by John Singleton Copley around 1795. Standing tall with an air of authority, Cornwallis's visage exudes strength and determination. Charles Cornwallis was not only a prominent figure in British history but also played a significant role in shaping the course of American independence. As one of the leading British generals during the American War of Independence, he is best remembered for his surrender to combined American and French forces at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. This pivotal event marked a turning point that led to the end of major hostilities in North America. Beyond his military career, Cornwallis served as both a civil and military governor in Ireland and India. His tenure brought about substantial changes such as implementing the Act of Union in Ireland and introducing important reforms like the Cornwallis Code and Permanent Settlements in India. In this remarkable painting, Copley skillfully captures Cornwallis's commanding presence through intricate brushwork and rich colors. The London Metropolitan Archives proudly houses this masterpiece which serves as a testament to Charles Cornwallis's influential legacy both on land and abroad.
