The Surrender of Mauritius Isle to the British in 1810
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the surrender of Mauritius Isle to the British in 1810. Illustrated by Richard Caton Woodville II, this lithograph from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation (c. 1923) beautifully depicts the pivotal event. The image transports us back to a time when Mauritius was known as Ile de France, a French colony from 1715-1814. The British forces successfully captured the island in 1810, and this illustration portrays the historic moment when French Governor General Charles Decaen surrenders. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element tells its own story. From soldiers with their drums and weapons at hand, representing both victory and conflict, to troops standing tall in formation - it all reflects the intensity and significance of this historical event. Through this artwork, we witness not only a military conquest but also an important turning point for Mauritius itself. In 1814, by virtue of the Treaty of Paris (Traite de Paris), Ile de France was renamed Mauritius - forever altering its destiny. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving from The Stapleton Collection offers us a glimpse into history's pages. It reminds us that even amidst war and conquests lie stories waiting to be discovered - tales that shape nations and define their future paths.
