EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the dramatic clash between French Cuirassiers and the Highlanders during the Battle of Waterloo. Engraved by M. Dubourg in 1819, this coloured aquatint showcases the intense confrontation that unfolded on that fateful day. The image showcases the sheer bravery and valour displayed by both sides as they engaged in fierce combat. The Scottish Highlanders and Scotch Greys can be seen charging forward with unwavering determination, their kilts billowing in the wind. With their iconic bagpipes playing in the background, these fearless warriors embody Scotland's indomitable spirit. In contrast, the French Cuirassiers are depicted mounted on powerful horses, clad in heavy armor to protect themselves from enemy fire. Despite their formidable appearance, they were ultimately defeated by the resolute Highlanders who fought with unmatched ferocity. This historical artwork is part of a collection titled "Historic Military and Naval Anecdotes" published by Edward Orme in 1819. It offers a glimpse into one of Europe's most significant battles – a turning point that marked Napoleon Bonaparte's ultimate downfall. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it serves as a reminder of those brave souls who fought for their nations' honor amidst chaos and bloodshed. Their sacrifices will forever be etched into history as symbols of courage and resilience against all odds.
