EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a historical artifact known as the Waterloo Medal, 1815. Crafted from metal with an attached ribbon, this miniature medal holds great significance in commemorating the Battle of Waterloo during the Napoleonic Wars. The English School of the 19th century beautifully captured this intricate decoration, which is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The medal was awarded to Colonel Henry Edward Keane, a distinguished member of the 7th (Queen's Own) Light Dragoons. Attached by a pin to a short length of ribbon similar to that worn with the Military General Service Medal from 1793-1814, it symbolizes bravery and valor on the battlefield. The image highlights not only the exquisite craftsmanship but also features an angelic figure adorning its center. This celestial being adds an ethereal touch to an already remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to one of history's most significant battles - Waterloo. It serves as a reminder of those who fought valiantly for their country and honors Colonel Keane's contribution to this momentous event. This photograph captures both artistry and history intertwined into one mesmerizing composition. It stands as a testament to human resilience and sacrifice during times of war while preserving our collective memory for generations to come.
