He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1876 and 1889 and had a studio at Aldershot to study his military subjects at first hand. The Sepoy Mutiny: On the morning of 11 May, mutineers stormed into the Red Castle in Delhi, killed what British officers they found, and begged Bahadur Shah, the aging Moghul king, to lead them. He knew the likely outcome, but felt compelled to cooperate. His sons quickly joined the uprising, Mirza Moghul taking command of the army. More sepoys in Delhi killed their British officers and joined the mutiny. After a few hours’ defense, the British blew up the magazine rather than have it fall into rebel hands. Most Europeans, living outside the city, fled for Meerut or Karnal. Fifty British civilians, including women and children, were held for a few days, then hacked to pieces when they refused to convert to Islam. The Britsh regained the city and showed very little mercy on their return. It lead to the downfall of the Moghul Dynasty. Ref: 8855

In the Battle of Fleurus (June 26, 1794) French forces under Jourdan defeated an Austrian army in one of the most decisive battles in the Low Countries during the French Revolutionary Wars. Both sides had forces numbering in the vicinity of 80,000 men but the French were able to more effectively concentrate their forces in order to achieve victory against the Austrians. The French use of the reconnaissance balloon 'l'Entreprenant', seen in the sky upper right, marked the first military use of an aircraft that had decisive influence on the outcome of the battle. L'Entreprenant continuously informed Jourdan about Austrian movements. From the series 'Conquêtes de Napoléonle Grand' published 1802. Numbered 'No.29' upper right. Ref: 9021

430. Painted Glass In A Window Of Farndon Church Containing Portraits of Cheshire Gentlemen who attended K. Charles I. at the Seige of Chester. From a Drawing contributed by the very Revd. Hugh Cholmondeley Dean of Chester. London, George Routledge & Sons, 1878. Hand coloured etching, 365 x 285mm. 14¼ x 11¼". £85 In 1662 William Barnston commissioned this Civil War window in his chapel in St. Chad's, Farndon, Cheshire. It commemorates the Royalist defenders of Chester. The artist obtained accurate details of dress and equipment from contemporary illustrations. You can see that the officers wear 'bucket-top' boots, while the musketeers, pikemen and musicians have breeches and stockings with garters tied in a bow. From left to right along the top are Sir Richard Grosvenor, Sir William Mainwaring and William Barnston, identified by their coats of arms. In the centre, Sir Francis Gamul, another of Charles's attendants at the Siege of Chester, stands in front of his tent, reviewing a fascinating array of military equipment. St. Chad's role in the Civil War is an exciting one. In 1643 it was used as barracks for his troops by Sir William Brereton, commander of the Cheshire and Lancashire Parliamentarian forces. The Parliamentarians needed to force a passage over the

Dee and invade the Royalist stronghold of Wales. On 9th November some 2,000 Roundheads were assembled near the bridge, on which the Royalists had built a defensive gatehouse. On the opposite bank, the Royalists were well prepared, their ranks swelled by extra troops from Ireland. They rang the bells of Holt church backwards and lit beacons to warn of the invasion. Brereton distracted the defence by marching a detachment of his troops down river. Then a second division attacked the bridge with the full force of their grenades, and broke through. Both sides fought backwards and forwards along the bridge and as far back as Farndon churchyard. In the confusion of battle few even noticed that the church roof was ablaze. Brereton by-passed Holt Castle to take Wrexham and Hawarden. Although severely damaged, Farndon church remained a garrison until the winter of 1645, when advancing Royalists, led by Prince Rupert and Prince Maurice, forced the Roundheads to flee, after more heavy fighting, leaving the church derelict.

This scene at Scutari, called Üsküdar, a large and densely populated suburb of Istanbul, on the Anatolian shore of the Bosphorus right opposite the heart of the great city. Florence Nightingale reformed hospital nursing during the 19th Century. She trained as a sick nurse and was invited to take nurses out to tend the wounded in the Crimean War (1854). Her sanitary reforms there lessened cases of disease. She was subsequently consulted by foreign governments at war as an authority on hospital administration and sanitation.

Although the assault failed, the gallantry of Windham's conduct earned the warm commendation of General James Simpson, who had succeeded Lord Raglan in the command of the army in the Crimea.

To the Right Honorable Charles Philip Yorke, First Lord of the Admiralty, This Print elucidating the extreme disproportion of Force between the American Frigate President Commodore Rodgers, and His Majesty's Sloop the Little Belt Arthur Batt Bingham Esquire Commander, and representing the situation of both Ships in the morning after the Action of the 11 May 1811. is respectfully inscribed by his obliged Servant Josh. Cartwright. Drawn by J. Cartwright. Engraved by J. Hassell. London, Pub. 1 Dec. 1811 by J. Hassell, No.11 Clements Inn & J. Cartwright, 39, Arundel Street, Strand. Hand coloured aquatint, image 350 x 520mm. 13¾ x 20½". £1500 This fine aquatint records the 'Little Belt Affair' on the night of May 16, 1811. It involved the American frigate USS President and the British sixth-rate HMS Little Belt, a sloop-of-war. The incident took place off Sandy Hook on the North Carolina coast. This action was one of many incidents and events that led to the War of 1812 between the countries. It was a mismatch; President sustained only one human injury while Little

Belt took ten deaths and 22 injuries, and the sloop was badly damaged in the attack. On the morning of May 17th, American Lieutenant John Creighton went to Little Belt to apologize for the 'unfortunate affair' and to offer space at any of the 'Ports of the United States', which the British Commander Bingham declined. When Bingham asked why President had attacked his much smaller ship, Creighton claimed that it was because Little Belt had provoked the action. Bingham staunchly denied this account. President sailed to New York City, and Little Belt went to Halifax, Nova Scotia. The two nations continued to argue about how the battle began for several months. Joseph Cartwright (1789? - 1829), marine painter, was apparently a native of Dawlish in Devonshire, and was attached to the navy in a civil capacity. When the Ionian Islands came into the possession of the English, he was appointed paymaster-general of the forces at Corfu, which post he held for some years. On his return to England he published a volume entitled ‘Views in the Ionian Islands,’ and henceforth devoted himself to art, and especially to painting marine subjects and naval engagements. He exhibited many pictures at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Society of British Artists, and obtained a great reputation in his particular line. In 1825 he was elected a member of the Society of British Artists, and in 1828 he was appointed marine painter to H.R.H. the Duke of Clarence, lord high admiral of England Ships captioned below inscription, with numbers of guns and men recorded.

The squadron was to be ready for combat at sea, to blockade ports between Cape Verde and Benguela if necessary, to seize foreign slavers, and to protect legitimate traders. The Journal du Havre publishes the following report on the capture of the Gabriel, communicated by Captain Blay, of the Jeune Pauline, just arrived at Havre from Rio Janeiro:- ' The following was published in Edinburgh Oct/Nov, 1841. The English brig Acorn having, in lat. 5.N perceived at great distance a vessel pillaging another, made chase, and instantly the Gabriel hoisted all her sail, and endeavoured to escape. At three in the afternoon the Acorn fired, and the Gabriel returned the fire, at the same time hoisting Portuguese colours. The chase continued for 12 hours, during the whole of which time firing was kept up by both vessels, but eventually the Gabriel was dismasted, and captured.She was sent to St Helena, but her crew, consisting of fifty- eight men, Spaniards and others, were put on board an English vessel at Rio. The captain jumped overboard during the chase, with all his papers.The merchandise found on board the Gabriel was valued at 8000 pounds. The Acorn had not time to

ascertain to what country the vessel which was being pillaged by the Gabriel belonged, but she carried English colours. Captain Blay also reports that the English merchants resident at Rio have presented Captain Lecosannet, of the Roland, with a handsome gold chronometer and snuff box, and given to each of his crew a hundred francs, in testimony of the sense entertained of their humanity in saving the crew and passengers of the India.

Captain Richard Budd Vincent (1770?-1831) was given command of the Arrow in 1802 and spent a year in the English Channel before being sent to the Mediterranean. By 1804 the Arrow was in bad shape, with rotting timbers, so she was sent home from Malta accompanying some merchant ships. When the two much larger French ships came across the convoy Vincent got his ship in between, allowing all but two of the convoy to escape. However both the Arrow and Acheron were lost. The court-martial on Vincent, standard practice when a captain lost his ship, not only ‘most honourably acquitted’ him, but pronounced his conduct ‘highly meritorious and praiseworthy.

Britain however controlled the small island of Lissa (now Vis), near Split. Lissa was being used as a base by smugglers infiltrating British goods into Europe in defiance of Napoleon's Continental System, and by privateers preying on the coastwise trade. It was also the base of a small British squadron, likewise there to disrupt trade and communications. The island was thus a thorn in Napoleon's flesh in the eastern Mediterranean. A mixed flotilla of French and Venetian frigates commanded by Commodore Dubordieu, together with troops and transports approached the island with a view to invading and occupying it. A British frigate flotilla commanded by Capt. William Hoste intercepted the expedition and drove it off. A french frigate squadron led by Commodore Bernard Dubourdieu and based at Ancona had attempted to take Lissa the previous autumn, but had failed, having insufficient troops. Early in 1811, 500 additional Italian troops had been assigned, and Dubourdieu's squadron, with the associated transports, had sailed from Ancona on 11th March.
