‘Either the British army must be fed and supplied with the necessaries which they require, or I shall march them back into Portugal…’ Wellington to Marquis Wellesley 13th Aug 1809, at the end of his tether re lack of provisions in Spain. #WellingtonWednesday
#Onthisday Arthur Wellesley's army won a decisive victory at #Assaye
Hugely outnumbered, using the ground (a trademark) AW led from the front, directing aggressive flanking attacks.
Later on when asked his greatest victory Wellington replied "ASSAYE"

Today is the last day of the 6 month Surface Tension exhibit at the Davis Museum. What a wonderful experience this has been! Thank you to everyone at @theDavis but especially to @lafischma ⚡️
In case you're nearby:
106 Central Avenue Wellesley MA
Open 11-5pm
Thinking back to April when The Davis Museum and Wellesley College treated me to such a special night after Carrie Cushman and I hit the stage.
.
If you put Elphinstone’s account next to Wellesley’s account of the Battle of Assaye, the usual picture of a dogged but generally smooth battle sort of unravels into a seat of your pants rollercoaster that could’ve crashed off the rails at any moment.
We ready.
Tonight -
Davis Museum - 106 Central Street, Wellesley
Collins Theater
6pm
Curator Carrie Cushman and I will rock your art world.

It's nice to be able to get the word out about my projects on social media -- but many of the compelling details of Surface Tension are lost in a JPG. These images are ready for their closeups.

Henry Wellesley (1st Lord Cowley), brother of the Duke of #Wellington, was rendered a laughing stock after his wife Charlotte very publicly ran off with Lord Paget in 1810.
His memoirs describe the entire event in 5 words:
'It was a domestic occurrence'
