EDITORS COMMENTS
The Meeting of Wellington and Blucher, c. 1940s (colour litho) captures a historic moment in vivid detail. This print by Daniel Maclise, featured in the Newnes Pictorial Knowledge, transports us back to the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo on 18th June 1815.

The scene is filled with palpable tension and relief as these two great military leaders come face to face amidst the chaos of battle. Maclise's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the majestic horses that stand faithfully beside their commanders to the expressions etched upon their faces. It is a testament to his skill as an artist that he manages to convey both strength and vulnerability within these historical figures. This print serves not only as a reminder of one of history's most significant battles but also as a celebration of leadership and camaraderie. It reminds us that even amidst war and conflict, there can be moments where enemies become allies for a common cause.
