EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the essence of remembrance and honor in the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo. Three majestic monuments stand tall, each representing a different aspect of this historic event. On the left, we see the Monument to the casualties from the Kings German Legion, paying tribute to those brave soldiers who fought under British command. In the center, dominating the frame, is the Dutch memorial known as Butte au Lion or Lions Mound. This monumental structure symbolizes resilience and victory, reminding us of the triumph that was achieved on this battlefield. Finally, on our right side stands a fluted column dedicated to Sir Alexander Gordon, Aide-de-camp to none other than Duke Wellington himself. This column serves as a testament to Gordon's courage and loyalty during one of history's most significant conflicts. The photographer skillfully captures these three monuments against a backdrop that exudes serenity and tranquility despite their historical significance. The black-and-white photolitho technique adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to this commemorative postcard from 1912. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a powerful reminder not only of past sacrifices but also our duty to remember them with gratitude and respect. These monuments stand as silent witnesses to an epic battle that shaped nations and changed history forever.
