EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Map of the Siege of Toulon" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. Published by William Blackwood and Sons in Edinburgh & London in 1848, this print showcases the remarkable talent of Alexander Keith Johnston. The aerial view depicted here offers a bird's-eye perspective of the Siege of Toulon, which took place from September 18th to December 18th, 1793. The map provides an intricate layout of the city and its surroundings during this tumultuous time. It serves as a historical record that captures both military strategy and topographical details with precision. As we delve into this artwork, we witness the clash between two opposing forces: the French Republicans and Royalists. The fall of Toulon was a significant event during the French Revolutionary Wars, where various allies joined forces against Republican France. Johnston's meticulous craftsmanship brings life to this historical scene through his detailed engravings. Every stroke tells a story - from the positioning of armies on either side to their movements throughout the siege. This print not only serves as an invaluable resource for historians but also stands as a testament to Johnston's skill as a cartographer. Its inclusion in The Stapleton Collection further highlights its significance within Scottish art history. As we explore this intricately crafted map, we are transported back to one of Europe's most turbulent periods – an era defined by revolution and conflict.
