EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph trade card from the early 1900s showcases General Pierre Cambronne, a renowned French soldier who played a pivotal role in the historic Battle of Waterloo on June 18,1815. As commander of the remains of the Old Guard, Cambronne displayed unwavering courage and leadership amidst the chaos and devastation of war. The image portrays General Cambronne with an air of stoicism, his battle-worn face reflecting both determination and weariness. His uniform bears witness to his valiant efforts on that fateful day, where he fought alongside his fellow soldiers against British forces led by the Duke of Wellington. Although seriously wounded during this momentous clash between two great military powers, Cambronne's resilience remained unbroken. Despite being taken prisoner by the victorious British after Waterloo, his legacy as a formidable Napoleonic general was forever etched into history. This print serves as a poignant reminder not only of one man's bravery but also encapsulates the spirit and sacrifice exhibited by countless soldiers during times of war. It is through such visual artifacts that we can pay tribute to those who have shaped our world through their unwavering dedication to duty and honor.
