EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Pigeon Island, Martinique" takes us back to the late 18th century and offers a glimpse into an important campaign in the West Indies. The illustration is part of Rev. Cooper Willyams' book, "An Account of the Campaign in the West Indies" which chronicles the events that unfolded in 1794 under the command of Lieutenant General Sir Charles Grey and Vice Admiral Sir John Jervis. The scene depicted showcases Pigeon Island, a picturesque Caribbean island with its lush greenery contrasting against the smoke-filled sky. In this dramatic moment, we witness British forces invading French territory during a fierce battle along the coastline. Ships can be seen firing cannons as they approach land while soldiers engage in combat on both land and sea. This print not only captures a significant military event but also provides insight into life during this period of British expansionism in the West Indies. It serves as a reminder of how historical accounts like Willyams' offer valuable perspectives on conquests and conflicts that shaped nations and empires. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this lithograph from 1796 transports viewers to an era long gone but still resonating through time. It stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation, making it an invaluable piece within private collections worldwide.
