EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print commemorates the pivotal moment in the North American Campaign of 1759, when British General James Wolfe triumphantly led his troops up the Heights of Abraham to take Quebec from the French. On September 13, 1759, after a grueling 18-hour battle, Wolfe's forces emerged victorious, securing a significant victory for the British in the ongoing Seven Years' War. However, as the general surveyed the battlefield, he was struck by a musket ball, which proved to be fatal. The print captures the poignant scene of Wolfe's death, with his troops rallying around him as he lies mortally wounded, surrounded by the chaos and carnage of the battlefield. The event marked a turning point in the war, with the British gaining control of Quebec and ultimately leading to their eventual victory. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this pivotal moment in North American history.
