EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting aftermath of the historic Battle of Waterloo, which took place on 18 June 1815. The image showcases a view of the village of Waterloo on the day after the battle, revealing a scene that is both poignant and somber. The artist, Thomas Sutherland, skillfully depicts the devastation left in the wake of this momentous conflict. The once peaceful village now lies in ruins, its buildings damaged and destroyed by cannon fire and warfare. A sense of desolation hangs heavy in the air as smoke still lingers from smoldering remnants. In stark contrast to this destruction stands a solitary church, seemingly untouched by chaos. Its presence serves as a symbol of hope amidst despair - an enduring testament to resilience and faith even in times of great turmoil. The print offers viewers a glimpse into history, allowing us to reflect upon the immense sacrifices made by soldiers who fought bravely on these very grounds. It serves as a reminder of both the horrors and heroism that unfolded during one of Europe's most significant battles. Published by James Jenkins in February 1816, this colour aquatint holds historical significance beyond its artistic beauty. As part four in a set associated with Waterloo, it immortalizes an important chapter in military history for generations to come. Displayed at London's National Army Museum today, this engraving continues to evoke emotions and provoke contemplation about war's impact on communities caught up in its destructive path.
