EDITORS COMMENTS
The Onward Sweep of Mighty Alexander captures the grandeur and power of one of history's greatest conquerors. This lithograph, created by C. Dudley Tennant in 1920, is a stunning illustration from the Newnes Pictorial Book of Knowledge. In this scene, we witness Alexander the Great leading his army on horseback through the vast lands of India and Asia. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity and determination etched on Alexander's face as he commands his troops towards victory. Clad in magnificent armor, both rider and steed exude strength and valor. The image also reveals the aftermath of battle – exhausted soldiers with defeated expressions dotting the landscape. Their helmets lay scattered amidst signs of an Indian defeat, showcasing the immense challenges faced during their invasion. Tennant's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life; every stroke captures not only the physicality but also the emotions that accompany such a monumental conquest. The composition evokes a sense of awe at Alexander's military prowess while reminding us of his relentless pursuit for dominance. This print serves as a testament to Charles Dudley Tennant's talent as an illustrator, immortalizing an iconic figure whose legacy continues to inspire generations today.
