EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of a mortar firing 'partridges' in the 19th century. The intricate cross-section of the barrel reveals a large bomb placed in the center chamber, surrounded by smaller projectiles resembling hand grenades. When ignited, these projectiles were hurled towards their target like a covey of partridge birds taking flight. The skilled stipple engraving technique used to create this image from "Encyclopaedia Londinensis" Vol II showcases the detailed craftsmanship and precision required to depict such a complex weapon system. The soldier standing next to the mortar adds a sense of scale and human presence to this scene of military action. The billowing smoke and flickering torch in the background hint at the chaos and destruction that war brings, while also highlighting the technological advancements made in artillery during this period. This historical illustration serves as a reminder of both the ingenuity and brutality inherent in warfare throughout history. Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of a mortar firing 'partridges', but also an intriguing glimpse into the past where innovation and conflict intersected on battlefields around the world.
