EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Triumphal Arch erected in Norwich as a tribute to the Duke of Cumberland, Prince William Augustus. Engraved by Paul Fourdrinier in 1746, this artwork captures the essence of an important historical event - the Battle of Culloden and its subsequent suppression of the Jacobite Rising. The arch stands tall and proud, commanding attention from passersby on a bustling street scene. Its neo-classical design exudes grandeur and sophistication, reflecting the architectural trends of that era. The intricate details carved into every corner depict scenes from the battle, paying homage to Prince William's heroic efforts in delivering his country from rebellion. Known as "Butcher Cumberland" by some due to his ruthless tactics during war, this triumphal arch serves as a reminder of his victory over adversity. It symbolizes not only military triumph but also resilience and unity within society. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving today, it transports us back to a time when history was made on these very streets. It invites contemplation about our own place in history and how events shape our present reality. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is a testament to human achievement and perseverance against all odds.
