Lot 7616:
Battle of Culloden by Sullivan after Heckel 1797
Heckel
A famous engraving by Luke Sullivan after A Heckel of the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Published by Laurie & Whittle, London 1797.
The Duke of Cumberland’s victory over Bonnie Prince Charlie, grandson of the exiled King James II, and his army at Culloden in Scotland on 16 April 1746 ended the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-1746. Culloden was the last pitched battle fought on British soil and a key moment in the Making of Britain. It brought long-lasting stability to British politics and, by depriving the French of the opportunity of causing trouble for the Government in its own back yard, paved the way for global conquest. It also safeguarded the succession of the Protestant House of Hanover, the ancestors of the present King.
