EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures the historic moment of the Landing of Marshall Schomberg at Carrickfergus. Taken from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, this engraving showcases a pivotal event in Irish history during the 19th century. The image depicts Frederick Schomberg, the 1st Duke of Schomberg, who served as commander in chief during the Williamite War in Ireland. As he steps off his boat onto Irish soil, surrounded by soldiers and boats towing behind him, one can sense the anticipation and determination that filled the air. The scene is rich with symbolism and historical significance. It represents not only a key moment in military strategy but also marks an important chapter in Ireland's struggle for independence during the Glorious Revolution. The Scottish soldiers present highlight the international nature of this conflict. Every detail within this print tells a story - from the soldiers dressed in kilts to their resolute expressions. The tugboat transporting them symbolizes both their strength and unity as they navigate through turbulent waters towards victory. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this artwork offers us a glimpse into our past while reminding us of those who fought bravely for their beliefs. Preserved within a private collection, it serves as a testament to our shared history and invites contemplation on themes such as war, courage, and national identity.
