EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the moment of the daring sortie made by the garrison of Gibraltar in the early hours of the morning on November 27, 1781. The British fortress of Gibraltar, a strategic prize in the Seven Years' War and a symbol of British power in the Mediterranean, had been under siege by the Spanish and French forces since June of that year. With supplies running low and morale waning, the garrison commander, General Sir Eliab Harvey, decided on a bold move: a sortie, or surprise attack, against the enemy encampments. The print depicts the British soldiers, armed and armored, making their way out of the fortress under the cover of darkness. The rocky terrain of Gibraltar's landscape is illuminated only by the flickering light of torches and lanterns, adding to the sense of drama and uncertainty. The soldiers move in formation, their determined expressions and steady pace betraying their resolve to succeed in their mission. The success of the sortie was crucial not only for the survival of the garrison but also for the larger war effort. The British victory at Gibraltar boosted morale and provided much-needed supplies and reinforcements. The print serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who defended Gibraltar during this pivotal moment in history. The intricate details of the print, from the individual soldiers' uniforms to the rocky terrain, bring the scene to life and transport us back to that fateful morning in November 1781. This print is a valuable historical record and a testament to the heroism and determination of the garrison of Gibraltar.
