EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in English and Scottish history - "The Death of Major Peirson at St. Heliers and Re-Taking of Jersey from the French on 8 January 1781". Engraved by J. J. Crew after J. S. Copley, this illustration is taken from the book "Illustrations of English and Scottish History". Volume II. In this scene, we witness a fierce battle taking place on the island of Jersey during the 18th century. The soldier Major Peirson, portrayed as a brave leader, tragically meets his end amidst the chaos of conflict. The engraving skillfully depicts the intensity and drama surrounding this pivotal event. The historical significance lies in the successful retaking of Jersey from French control by British forces led by Major Peirson. This victory played a crucial role in securing British dominance over strategic territories during that time period. Through meticulous detail and expert craftsmanship, artist J. S. Copley brings to life an important chapter in military history. His work not only pays tribute to those who fought valiantly but also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made for national sovereignty. This print serves as both an educational tool and a visual testament to human resilience in times of war. It transports us back to that fateful day when courage clashed with adversity on the shores of St Heliers, forever etching its mark on our collective memory.
