EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures the essence of military life during the Lord General's Northern Journey in the early 17th century. The detailed description of the form and manner of their encampment provides a fascinating glimpse into the strategic planning and organization required for such military operations.
The inspiration for this drawing likely came from Machiavelli's 'L'arte della guerra', reflecting the influence of tactical knowledge on military practices at that time. The inclusion of diagrams and instructions on how to incamp an army highlights the importance placed on precision and efficiency in warfare.
Displayed in vibrant colors on paper and linen, this artwork showcases not only the physical layout of the camp but also conveys a sense of order and discipline among soldiers. The tents, marquees, and other structures depicted offer insight into daily life within a military base, emphasizing both functionality and comfort for troops.
As part of volume eight, Maps of Ireland, this drawing is one of four versions found in George Legge's collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of military strategy but also in its contribution to our understanding of European conflicts during this period.
Overall, this print serves as a valuable visual record of early 17th-century military practices, shedding light on the complexities involved in organizing and maintaining an army during times of war.
