EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "Waterloo (engraving)" takes us back in time to the historic Battle of Waterloo. The image, captured by Samuel Read in 1872 for The Illustrated London News, transports us to the heart of this significant event. The engraving showcases a scene filled with remnants and reminders of the fierce battle that took place on these very grounds. A shattered tree stands as a testament to the violence and destruction that unfolded during those fateful days. In contrast, a peaceful kitchen garden and orchard nearby offer a glimpse into the tranquility that once existed before war ravaged this landscape. Dominating the composition is an impressive architectural structure known as Hougoumont, its courtyard serving as a witness to countless strategic maneuvers. Atop a mound stands the iconic Belgian Lion monument, symbolizing bravery and resilience in the face of adversity. As we explore every intricate detail within this print, we are reminded not only of Belgium's pivotal role in European history but also how unity among nations can shape our future. This photograph serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece, allowing us to reflect upon past conflicts while appreciating Europe's journey towards peace through collaboration within organizations like the European Union. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical gem from their private collection for all art enthusiasts to admire and learn from for generations to come.
