EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Richard Montgomery, an Irish-born soldier who played a significant role in both the British army and the American Revolutionary War. Born in 1737, Montgomery initially served as a soldier for Britain during the Seven Years War before making a life-changing decision in 1772. He sold his commission and relocated to America, where he would ultimately fight against his former comrades. As a Brigadier-General, Montgomery led a daring assault on Quebec during the American Revolutionary War. Sadly, this courageous act resulted in his untimely death. The image captures not only the concept of war but also portrays Montgomery's determination and bravery on the battlefield. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical moment from the 18th century, highlighting both its significance and impact on future generations. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Montgomery fought relentlessly for their beliefs and ideals. Richard Montgomery's story is one that intertwines Ireland with America's fight for independence from Britain. This photograph stands as a testament to his legacy as well as those who sacrificed their lives during this pivotal time in history.
