EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Defeated for the first time, at a place known to geography as Waterloo, but to history as betrayal" captures a pivotal moment in military history. The image depicts General Pierre Cambronne, commander of the Old Guard, standing defiantly amidst the chaos and destruction of battle. This color lithograph by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville) showcases the intensity and emotion of this historic event. On that fateful day, Cambronne uttered his infamous last word when asked to surrender by British General Charles Colville. His response symbolized not only his personal defiance but also the unwavering loyalty and courage of Napoleon's soldiers. This illustration was originally created for Le Grand Napoleon des Petits Enfants par Job et J de Marthold in 1893. The Battle of Waterloo marked a turning point in European history, where Napoleon Bonaparte faced defeat for the first time. It was more than just a military confrontation; it represented an epic clash between empires and ideologies. This image transports us back to that tumultuous era, evoking feelings of admiration for Cambronne's bravery and curiosity about the larger story behind this significant historical event. From his resolute expression to his impeccably detailed uniform, every element in this artwork speaks volumes about honor, sacrifice, and resilience on both sides of the battlefield. As we gaze upon this powerful depiction captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded once again that even in defeat lies an indomitable spirit capable of shaping nations and leaving an everlasting mark on human history.
