EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour litho print titled "An Irish deserter fired at Clive's head" by Stewart Orr depicts a dramatic moment in history. The artwork, part of a private collection, is an illustration for John Lang's book "The Story of Lord Clive". In this scene, we witness the bravery and foolishness of an Irish deserter who takes aim at Lord Clive's head. Set against the backdrop of a magnificent stone church with its towering steeple, the image captures the tension and danger that permeated Clive's life. Lord Robert Clive, also known as Clive of India, was a prominent figure in British history. He played a significant role in establishing British rule in India during the 18th century. This print serves as a reminder of his monumental achievements and the challenges he faced. The architectural details showcased in this artwork highlight not only the beauty but also the historical significance of public monuments from that era. It is through such works of art that we can delve into past events and gain insight into different aspects of our shared heritage. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical context. As we admire this print, let us reflect on the courage displayed by individuals like Lord Clive while acknowledging their complex place within history.
