EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Maida, 4 July 1806, captured in this aquatint print by William Heath, showcases the triumph of Major-General John Stuart and his British and Neapolitan-Sicilian army against the French forces. Set outside the picturesque town of San Pietro di Maida in Calabria, this historic battle marked a significant victory for the British expedition to Calabria. Published by J Jenkins and engraved by T Sutherland, this artwork is part of A The Martial Achievements of Great Britain and Her Allies from 1799 to 1815A. It portrays a pivotal moment in history when Stuart's troops successfully encouraged insurrection against the French within the Kingdom of Naples while preventing any potential invasion of Sicily. In this scene, we witness soldiers engaged in fierce combat amidst rolling hills and lush greenery.
