EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the distinguished visage of Sir Stapleton Cotton, 3rd Baronet and 1st Viscount Combermere, a renowned British military commander of the 18th and 19th centuries. Born in 1773, Combermere rose through the ranks of the military, earning a reputation as a brilliant tactician and a formidable leader. He served in the Peninsular War against Napoleon Bonaparte, where he played a key role in several major victories, including the Battle of Talavera and the Battle of Busaco. Later in his career, Combermere served as Commander-in-Chief of the Army in India, where he led forces against the Maratha Confederacy and the Sikh Empire. His military prowess and strategic acumen earned him the nickname "The Old Tigershark." Combermere's military successes were not limited to the battlefield. He was also known for his reforms and innovations, including the introduction of the "Combermere system" of military discipline and the establishment of military hospitals and schools. This portrait, taken in the later years of Combermere's life, shows a man of great dignity and authority. His piercing gaze and stern expression convey a sense of determination and resolve. The background, adorned with military accolades and medals, serves as a testament to his impressive military career. Sir Stapleton Cotton, 1st Viscount Combermere, passed away in 1865, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most celebrated military commanders in British history. This portrait is a fitting tribute to his remarkable life and achievements.
