EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the majestic Dutch Memorial to the Battle of Waterloo, showcasing the iconic lion perched atop the Butte du Lion (Lions Mound). Taken in 1912 by an anonymous Belgian photographer, this photolitho print showcases a monument built in 1826 by the government of the United Netherlands. The memorial was erected to honor and commemorate the exact spot where William, Prince of Orange, sustained injuries during this historic battle. The sculpture itself was created by Jean-Francois Van Geel and stands as a symbol of bravery and courage. Its imposing presence serves as a reminder of the valor displayed by those who fought on that fateful day in 1815. This image evokes feelings of pride and reverence for all who view it. The Dutch Memorial is not only a physical testament to history but also a symbolic representation of resilience and sacrifice. It stands tall against time's passage, reminding us of our collective past and inspiring future generations with its enduring message. This commemorative postcard from Bridgeman Images transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic beauty captured within its frame and the historical significance it represents. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded once again of humanity's ability to triumph over adversity while paying homage to those who came before us.
