Maclure and Macdonald created this print entitled "Two Cavalry Soldiers and their Horses Hit in an Attack," though the date of its creation is unknown. In its stark depiction of the aftermath of battle, the work offers a powerful commentary on the human and animal cost of war. The image portrays not just the physical violence, but also the emotional devastation that war leaves behind. The fallen soldiers and horses serve as a stark reminder of the fragility of life. The use of monochrome adds to the somber mood, emphasizing the bleak reality of conflict. The print captures a moment of vulnerability, challenging traditional representations of warfare that often glorify heroism and valor. This artwork invites us to consider the intersectional impacts of war, acknowledging how conflict disproportionately affects marginalized communities, and its lasting effects on individuals and societies. It prompts reflection on the narratives we construct around war and who is included in them.
