EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print commemorates the Jacobite victory at the Battle of Prestonpans, a pivotal moment in Scottish and British history that took place on September 21, 1745. The Battle of Prestonpans was a significant engagement during the Jacobite Rebellion, led by Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, in an attempt to reclaim the British throne for the House of Stuart. The print captures the excitement and triumph of the Jacobite forces as they emerged victorious against the British Army, led by Lieutenant-General Sir John Cope. Outnumbered and outmaneuvered, the Jacobites capitalized on the British army's overconfidence and disorganization, resulting in a decisive victory. The print portrays the Highland warriors, renowned for their bravery and distinctive attire, charging forward with swords raised, while their opponents retreat in disarray. The Battle of Prestonpans marked the high point of the Jacobite Rebellion, as the Jacobite forces marched south towards Edinburgh and eventually reached Derby before being defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. This print serves as a testament to the enduring spirit and determination of the Jacobites, and the significant impact of their rebellion on the political landscape of Scotland and Britain. The historical significance of the Battle of Prestonpans is further emphasized by the inclusion of the date and key figures in the print. The event took place on September 21, 1745, and the Jacobite forces were led by the charismatic Bonnie Prince Charlie, who is depicted in the print on horseback, surveying the battlefield. The print also includes the names of the key commanders and regiments involved in the battle, adding to its historical accuracy and value.
