“Major-General Brock, 18x6.”

From a vignette photograph loaned by Miss FitzGibbon, Toronto, and now published for the first time in any Life of Brock.  As doubt has been expressed by some admirers of Brock as to the authenticity of this portrait, Miss FitzGibbon’s written endorsation is here quoted: 

“The photograph is from an original miniature portrait of Major-General (afterwards Sir) Isaac Brock, painted by J. Hudson, 18x6—­1806—­the date of General Brock’s last visit to England.  The miniature is now in possession of Miss S. Mickle, Toronto.”

This full-face vignette is of exceptional interest, all other portraits of Brock being in profile, and is likely to challenge preconceived notions.

Brock’s Midnight Gallop.

Original water-color painting by Charles W. Jefferys, O.S.A., Toronto.  As a matter of fact, the hour of Brock’s gallop from Fort George to Queenston, as described in Chapter XXV., was not “midnight,” but shortly before daybreak.  It is this time, “between the lights,” with sky and atmosphere aglow from the fire of the batteries, that the artist cleverly depicts.
