Beauclerk’s (1813-1861) eyewitness drawings of the events of the Papineau Rebellion are extraordinary, and according to Spendlove are “the most comprehensive sets of prints” on the Rebellion. Comment on one of the Beauclerk views from Yale University “The Illustrating Traveler” online Exhibiton: “ Beauclerk's view book is in the best tradition of British military plate books, combining a narrative of the expedition with plates that show both military operations and the locale. The series shows the British Army campaign to crush the Canadian Rebellion of 1837, while this plate shows the climactic encounter of the campaign”.
