EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Battles of the British Army, Cuddalore" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1897, this engraving depicts the intense Siege of Cuddalore during the Second Anglo-Mysore War. In this scene, we witness Tippoo Sahib fearlessly leading Hyder Ali's cavalry as they charge towards the British lines. The dramatic atmosphere is palpable as horses gallop and soldiers clash amidst the chaos of battle. The artist masterfully captures the tension and bravery displayed by both sides. The image showcases not only a pivotal military engagement but also provides insight into Indian culture and society at that time. It serves as a reminder of India's rich history and its role in shaping global events. Woodville's illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News, allowing readers to visualize and better understand this historic event. Now preserved within a private collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the past and appreciate the artistry behind capturing such monumental moments on paper. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we are fortunate enough to have access to these historical treasures that continue to educate and inspire us today.
