Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis (1738-1805): A Distinguished British Army Officer and Colonial Administrator of the 18th and Early 19th Centuries This engraving depicts Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis, a prominent British military and political figure of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born on December 22, 1738, in England, Cornwallis rose to prominence as a military commander during the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution. He is best known for his surrender at Yorktown in 1781, which marked a turning point in the American Revolutionary War. Despite his military defeats, Cornwallis remained a respected figure in British society. After the war, he served as Governor-General of India from 1786 to 1793, where he implemented significant administrative and military reforms. He was also a recipient of the Order of the Garter, one of the most prestigious orders of chivalry in the United Kingdom. This engraving captures Cornwallis in his later years, wearing the uniform of a British army officer and the sash of the Order of the Garter. His robust build and serious expression convey a sense of authority and gravitas. The colored print adds depth and texture to the image, making it a striking and contemporary representation of a great man of history. Cornwallis' legacy is complex, as he is remembered both for his military defeats and his administrative accomplishments. His career spanned a critical period in British history, marked by colonialism, militarism, and the struggle for national identity. This engraving offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a significant role in shaping the modern United Kingdom and its relations with its colonies.
