EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Charles, Marquis of Cornwallis, in all his regal glory. Created by Anthony Devis and engraved by Bartolozzi, this print showcases the distinguished features of the 1st Marquess of Cornwallis. Known for his significant role in both American and Indian history, Cornwallis's legacy is immortalized through this stunning artwork. Intricately detailed palm trees serve as a backdrop to this portrait, symbolizing his time spent in India as Governor General and Commander in Chief. Adorned with a knightly garter and sash, Cornwallis exudes an air of nobility befitting his aristocratic status. His military uniform proudly displays epaulettes that speak to his valiant service as a soldier. The engraving also highlights the historical significance of Cornwallis's defeat at the hands of the American-French army during the siege of Yorktown in 1781. This pivotal event marked a turning point in the American War of Independence. A medal adorns Cornwallis's chest, serving as a testament to his bravery and decorated career. The dedication on this print is specifically addressed to Louisa, daughter-in-law to Charles and wife to their son Viscount Brome. This enchanting artwork captures not only an individual but also an era characterized by colonial expansion and political intrigue. It invites viewers into a world where knights still exist amidst lush landscapes dotted with palm trees—a true masterpiece that encapsulates history within its intricate details.
