EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history through a close-up view of a horse's hoof dating back to 1815. The hoof belonged to 'Jubilee', the loyal companion ridden by Captain Arthur Shakespear during the Battle of Waterloo.
As part of the 3rd Regiment of Dragoons and 10th Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Hussars), Shakespear bravely led his troops into battle, with 'Jubilee' carrying him through the chaos and turmoil of war. This relic serves as a poignant reminder of their unwavering bond on that fateful day.
The intricate details preserved in this image speak volumes about the resilience and strength embodied by both horse and rider. Each mark on the hoof tells a story of courage, sacrifice, and camaraderie amidst the backdrop of conflict.
Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history - a testament to the bravery displayed by all those who fought valiantly on that battlefield. It is not just a mere artifact but a symbol of honor and remembrance for those who served with unwavering dedication.
This piece from National Army Museum in London is more than just an image; it is a window into the past that allows us to reflect on the sacrifices made by both man and beast in times of war.
