EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century, capturing a road that stretches across the vast plain of Waterloo in Belgium. The image showcases two prominent monuments that stand proudly on either side of the road - the Gordon Monument on the right and the Hannover Monument on the left. Published in 1859 as part of "The History of England" this illustration offers a glimpse into an important historical site. The plain itself holds great significance as it was once a battleground where one of history's most renowned battles took place - the Battle of Waterloo. The Gordon Monument, standing tall and majestic, pays tribute to General Charles George Gordon, who played a significant role during this battle. On its left stands another remarkable structure, known as the Hannover Monument. This monument commemorates those from Hanover who fought valiantly alongside their allies. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves transported back to that era. The serene beauty of the plain contrasts with its violent past, reminding us of both triumphs and sacrifices made for freedom and victory. Ken Welsh's expert photography skillfully captures not only these magnificent monuments but also evokes emotions tied to this historic location. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and invites us to reflect upon those who came before us and shaped our world today.
