EDITORS COMMENTS
Lord Rollo and Sir James Douglas's Daring Attack on Roseau, Dominique (1760) This evocative print captures the thrilling moment of Lord Rollo and Sir James Douglas's audacious assault on the French fortified town of Roseau in Dominique during the year 1760. The British naval forces, led by Lord Rollo and Sir James Douglas, sailed from their base in Jamaica with a fleet of ships, determined to seize control of the strategic harbor and weaken the French presence in the Western Indies. The vibrant purple sky above the scene sets the stage for the dramatic events unfolding below. The French town of Roseau, nestled at the water's edge, is depicted as a fortified stronghold, with cannons positioned along the walls and smoke rising from the rooftops. The British ships, anchored in the harbor, are shown firing their broadsides at the town, while smaller boats carry soldiers and marines towards the shore. Lord Rollo, depicted in the foreground, stands tall on the deck of his ship, directing the attack with a determined expression. Sir James Douglas, clad in military attire, is shown leading his troops ashore, brandishing a sword and rallying his men. The fierce battle that ensued lasted for several hours, with the British forces eventually gaining the upper hand and capturing the town. This print is a testament to the strategic importance of the Caribbean during the colonial era and the daring exploits of the British naval forces in the region. The successful attack on Roseau marked a significant victory for the British in their efforts to expand their influence in the Western Indies and weaken the French colonial power in the region.
