EDITORS COMMENTS
Summoned to Waterloo, Brussels, 1815: A Glimpse into History". This print takes us back in time to the year 1815, amidst the tumultuous Napoleonic Wars. The scene captures a significant moment as officers bid farewell at the Duchess of Richmond's ball in Brussels. In a grand carriage sits Arthur Wellesley, the esteemed 1st Duke of Wellington, who played a pivotal role in defeating Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo. The image is alive with emotion and anticipation as soldiers clad in their distinguished British Army uniforms gather around. To the right stands a group of highlanders, adding an air of Scottish pride to this historic tableau. As they prepare for battle, these brave men exchange heartfelt goodbyes with their loved ones. The setting itself is enchanting; we find ourselves immersed in the charming town of Brussels under moonlit skies. Carriages line up along cobblestone streets while horses restlessly await their riders' return. Amidst this nocturnal atmosphere filled with whispers and hushed conversations, one can almost feel the weighty significance that hangs heavy over everyone present. This remarkable piece by Robert Alexander Hillingford beautifully encapsulates both human vulnerability and unwavering determination during times of war. It serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and valor exhibited by those who fought for freedom on that fateful day at Waterloo.
