EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful moment from the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, depicting the famous quote "The guard dies but does not surrender". The illustration, created by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville), showcases General Pierre Cambronne standing defiantly amidst the chaos and carnage of war. This iconic phrase has come to symbolize unwavering courage and loyalty in the face of defeat. In this image, we see Cambronne as a solitary figure surrounded by fallen soldiers. His resolute expression reflects his determination to fight until the very end, even when all hope seems lost. The intensity of the battle is palpable as smoke billows in the background and bodies lie strewn across the battlefield. This historic event marked Napoleon Bonaparte's final defeat, ending his reign as Emperor of France. Despite their ultimate loss, Cambronne's words embody the indomitable spirit of soldiers who refuse to give up or surrender. Their bravery serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to their cause. Job's illustration beautifully captures this pivotal moment in history, evoking both admiration for these courageous soldiers and somber reflection on the devastating consequences of war. It stands as a poignant reminder that even in moments of great adversity, there are those who will stand tall with unyielding resolve.
