EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving by James Rouse takes us back to the aftermath of the historic Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The print showcases the approach to the village of Waterloo, with its quaint chapel visible in the distance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a serene forest setting, where a path winds through the landscape. The scene is imbued with a sense of tranquility and peace, which starkly contrasts with the violent events that unfolded on these very grounds just years before. The memorial significance of this location is palpable as we contemplate how it must have looked during those fateful days when soldiers clashed and lives were forever changed. Rouse's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life – from the intricate engravings on trees to the subtle play of light filtering through foliage. It serves as a testament not only to his artistic skill but also captures an important moment in history. As viewers, we can't help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for all those who fought bravely on this hallowed ground. This print reminds us that even amidst destruction and chaos, nature endures and beauty persists. It stands as both a tribute to those who lost their lives at Waterloo and a reminder that hope can emerge from even the darkest moments in history.
