Gebhard von Blücher, a name that echoes through the annals of history as one of Prussia's greatest military leaders. This engraving captures the essence of his commanding presence, showcasing his steely determination and unwavering resolve. As a Prussian Field Marshal, Blücher played a pivotal role in shaping Europe's destiny during the early 19th century. His exploits on the battlefield were legendary, earning him both admiration and respect from his comrades and foes alike. From Waterloo to Ligny, Blücher led his troops with unparalleled courage and strategic brilliance. The illustration from A History of England depicts the decisive moment at Waterloo when victory was within reach for the Allied forces under Wellington's command. Blücher's indomitable spirit is further exemplified by Marshal Blucher's Prussian army crossing the Rhine into France on New Year's Day in 1814. It symbolizes his relentless pursuit of liberty and justice for all those oppressed by Napoleon Bonaparte's tyrannical rule. Yet even great leaders have their moments of vulnerability. The colour litho portrays Field Marshal Blucher surrendering to the French at Katekau in November 1806. It serves as a reminder that even amidst defeat, true heroes rise again to fight another day. Blücher was not only known for his military prowess but also for his noble character off the battlefield. Queen Louise of Prussia accompanied him at court balls held at Berlin's Royal Palace, highlighting their close relationship and mutual respect. The meeting between Duke Wellington and Prince Blücher near La Belle Alliance in 1818 signifies their shared triumph over adversity—a testament to their unbreakable bond forged through bloodshed and sacrifice. The Battle of Bautzen witnessed yet another display of bravery by soldiers under Blucher’s command—the Colberg Regiment—whose unwavering loyalty contributed significantly to securing victory against formidable adversaries.
