EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the duel between Warren Hastings and Philip Francis in 1780AD. The vivid colors of this lithograph by Arthur David McCormick bring to life the intensity and drama of this significant event. Set against the backdrop of Calcutta, India, two powerful figures stand poised with pistols in hand, ready to engage in a battle that will shape their destinies. Dressed in elaborate costumes befitting their status as British soldiers, both men exude an air of determination and resolve. As Governor General of India, Warren Hastings stands tall and confident, his uniform symbolizing his authority over the empire. On the other side stands Philip Francis, equally resolute as he prepares to face his adversary head-on. Surrounding them are their loyal seconds who play crucial roles in ensuring fairness during this high-stakes encounter. The tension is palpable as history hangs on every shot fired. This image not only depicts a pivotal moment between two individuals but also represents a larger clash between empires - one that would leave an indelible mark on Indian history. Preserved within private collections for years, this print serves as a reminder of the battles fought and sacrifices made by those who sought to shape nations. It invites us to reflect upon our own histories while marveling at the artistry that brings these stories back to life.
