EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the war memorials on the historic battlefield at Waterloo, Belgium. Taken in the mid-19th century by Vanderhecht, an acclaimed creator of architectural prints, this image showcases three significant monuments that pay tribute to those who fought and lost their lives during the Battle of Waterloo. On the left stands the Hanoverian Monument, a poignant reminder of the Kings German Legion, a British military unit established by King George III in 1803. In the center looms the majestic Lions Mound, marking the spot where William II of Netherlands was struck down from his horse by a musket ball during this fateful battle. Finally, on our right is The Gordon Monument erected in memory of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Alexander Gordon, Aide de Camp to Duke Wellington. Tragically wounded towards the end of this historic conflict. The composition and colorization bring out every intricate detail and texture present in these remarkable structures against a picturesque landscape backdrop. This print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also as a testament to history's enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it transports us back to that monumental day on June 8th, 1815 when Napoleon's forces clashed with British and Prussian armies under Field Marshal Blucher's command. It reminds us to honor those who sacrificed everything for their nations' freedom while serving as both an educational tool and tourist attraction for visitors exploring Waterloo's rich historical heritage.
