Russborough.com: The War of 1812

Since 1763 the name 'Russborough' has been synonymous with collecting and dealing in fine art. In the closing decades of the last century the historic town of Port Hope has become home to Lord Russborough's Annex, which specialises in an individual mix of antique maps, paintings and prints.

While Lord Russborough's Annex features a great many works of museum calibre, we also offer a wonderful selection of prints priced at under $100.

The Battle of Queenston



	"No tongue shall blazon forth their fame The cheers that stir that sacred hill Are but the promptings of the will That conquered then, that conquers still And generations shall thrill At Brock's remembered name " - Charles Sangster THE BATTLE OF QUEENSTON Detail images This was the key battle of The War of 1812. 13 October 1813. [1812] T. SUTHERLAND after MAJOR DENNIS. THIS AQUATINT VIEW IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF CANADIANA, WITH MISTAKEN DATE. This is a restrike from the original copper plate of one of the great topographical prints of Canadian history, for it was during this engagement on 13 Oct. 1812, not 1813 as published in the title [perhaps memories in 1836 were rather short ?], that Maj-Gen. Sir Isaac Brock fell; (The correct location of that event being shown in this image he was later buried four times!) and Maj-Gen. Sheaffe defeated a vastly superior force of Americans so raising the morale of the inhabitants of Upper Canada. This was therefore the key battle of The War of 1812. The Battle of Queenston Heights was also a significant event in US history as the incident depicted with the boat in the foreground had constitutional importance. Printed for I.W.
