EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. In this watercolour sketch by Joh Atkinson, published in The Sunday Times on 21 July 1888, we witness the esteemed British General Wellington and his staff paying homage to Blucherja. As they stand amidst the chaos of war, Wellington doffs his hat as a gesture of respect towards his ally. The image transports us back to that fateful day when European powers clashed in an epic struggle for supremacy. The Napoleonic Wars had ravaged the continent for years, and Waterloo marked a turning point that would shape Europe's future. Wellington, known for his strategic brilliance and unwavering leadership, is seen surrounded by his trusted staff. Their presence signifies unity and determination amidst adversity. Each face tells its own story - expressions ranging from steely resolve to cautious optimism. Atkinson's skillful use of watercolours brings life to this historical scene, capturing both the intensity of battle and the human emotions at play. The vibrant hues evoke a sense of urgency while also highlighting the bravery displayed by these soldiers. Published over seven decades after the event itself, this remarkable sketch reminds us of our collective past and honors those who fought valiantly at Waterloo. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst destruction and turmoil, acts of camaraderie can transcend boundaries and unite nations in pursuit of peace.
