EDITORS COMMENTS
The Death of Major Peirson at St. Heliers, 1781 (1878) captures a pivotal moment in history during the Battle of Jersey. This powerful photo print, created by artist JJ Crew, depicts the intense chaos and bravery that unfolded on that fateful day. In this scene, we see a group of courageous men and women fighting for their country's freedom. The British flag proudly waves in the background as smoke billows from muskets fired in desperation. Panic is evident on the faces of both French and British soldiers alike, as they engage in a fierce struggle for control. Amidst this turmoil stands Major Peirson, an esteemed military leader whose life was tragically cut short during the battle. His valiant sacrifice serves as a symbol of unwavering devotion to duty and honor. The sepia tones used in this print evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to the 18th century when this historic event took place. The attention to detail captured by JJ Crew showcases his artistic skill and dedication to accurately portraying this significant moment. This engraving is part of Thomas Archer's publication 'Pictures and Royal Portraits Illustrative of English and Scottish History, ' which provides valuable insights into our rich past.
