EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of one of history's most significant battles - the Battle of Waterloo. Fought on 18 June 1815, this battle marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and forever changed the course of European history. The sketch depicts a dramatic scene from that fateful day, showcasing the clash between two formidable forces. On one side stands Napoleon Bonaparte, known as "Boney" or "the Corsican" leading his French army with unwavering determination. On the other side is an allied British army under the command of Arthur Wellesley, also known as the Duke of Wellington, joined by Prussians led by Field Marshal Blucher. The artist skillfully captures both action and emotion in this detailed engraving. The intensity on each soldier's face reveals their commitment to victory while conveying a sense of chaos and urgency on the battlefield. The landscape itself becomes a witness to history as smoke billows from cannons and muskets echo through its rolling hills. This antique print is not only a visual masterpiece but also serves as a historical document. It was featured in Hewson Clarke's renowned work "The History of War" published in 1816, providing future generations with invaluable insights into this monumental event.
