EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving titled "Sketches of Brussels and the Field of Waterloo" by an English School artist from the 19th century. The image takes us on a visual journey through time, offering glimpses into the enchanting city of Brussels and its iconic landmarks. The foreground reveals old houses lining the picturesque Grande Place, their facades exuding a sense of history and charm. Towering above them is the magnificent Hotel de Ville, an architectural masterpiece that stands as a testament to Belgium's rich heritage. Further in the distance, we catch sight of the majestic Cathedral of St Gudule, one of many places of worship dotting this vibrant city. As our gaze shifts towards the background, we are transported to another significant location - the Field of Waterloo. This historic site witnessed one of Europe's most pivotal battles and serves as a poignant reminder of Belgium's role in shaping European history. The composition also highlights various municipal buildings and town halls scattered throughout Brussels' landscape, showcasing both its administrative importance and architectural diversity. Hougoumont Park adds a touch of natural beauty amidst these man-made marvels.
