EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a horse's hoof from 1815, belonging to 'Jubilee', the faithful steed ridden by Captain Arthur Shakespear during the historic Battle of Waterloo. The hoof serves as a poignant relic of the bravery and sacrifice displayed on that fateful day.
As part of the 3rd Regiment of Dragoons and 10th Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Hussars), Captain Shakespear rode into battle alongside Lord Combermere as his ADC. The connection between man and horse is evident in this preserved piece, showcasing the bond forged through shared hardship and triumph.
The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, where horses played an integral role in warfare and were revered companions to soldiers on the battlefield. Each mark on Jubilee's hoof tells a story of resilience, loyalty, and unwavering dedication to duty.
This artifact serves not only as a souvenir from a significant moment in history but also as a reminder of the sacrifices made by both man and beast in times of conflict. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit embodied by those who fought bravely for their beliefs, immortalized in this striking photograph.
