The Most Noble Charles Marquis Cornwallis - A Distinguished British General and Statesman
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable portrait of The Most Noble Charles Marquis Cornwallis, a prominent figure in British history. Published in 1798 as a vivid color engraving by the renowned artist John Singleton Copley, this artwork captures the essence of Cornwallis's commanding presence. Charles Edward Cornwallis (1738-1805) was not only an esteemed military leader but also played a significant role during pivotal moments in history. Known for his involvement in the American War of Independence, he commanded British forces against George Washington's army. This portrait reflects his distinguished service during this conflict and highlights his subsequent appointment as Governor-General of India. The image portrays Cornwallis adorned with the prestigious Order of the Garter, symbolizing his noble status within society. His resolute gaze and confident posture exude authority and strength, reflecting his successful military campaigns throughout various wars such as the Seven Years' War and Third Mysore War. The inclusion of this artwork within The Stapleton Collection further emphasizes its historical significance. As we admire this exquisite engraving from Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of Cornwallis's enduring legacy as both a respected general and influential statesman.
