The lithograph, created by Richard Caton Woodville II, depicts the dramatic scene where the Highlanders of the British Army turn captured French guns against their enemies. The intensity and bravery of these soldiers are palpable as they skillfully maneuver the artillery to gain an advantage over their adversaries. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical event to life, showcasing both the chaos and determination on the battlefield. Woodville's work was originally published in The Illustrated London News on February 16th, 1895. This engraving has since become a treasured piece within private collections due to its historical significance and artistic merit.
