The Battle of Waterloo, (18 June 1815), 1816 - A Historic Moment Captured in Print
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the monumental Battle of Waterloo, fought on that fateful Sunday, 18th June 1815. The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, but their ability to capture the essence of this historic event is undeniable. In this scene, we witness the clash between two mighty forces - the French army led by Napoleon Bonaparte and the allied British army under the command of Duke of Wellington. Alongside them are Prussians commanded by Field Marshal Blucher. This battle marked a turning point in history as it brought an end to the Napoleonic Wars. The print showcases a chaotic battlefield with soldiers advancing towards each other with raised arms and bayonets glinting in anticipation. Banners flutter proudly above them, representing their respective countries - Britain's Union Jack and France's Tricolour. The image also highlights key figures such as Arthur Wellesley, known as the Duke of Wellington, who played a crucial role in leading his troops to victory against Napoleon's forces. We catch a glimpse of Emperor Napoleon himself amidst his generals on horseback. Engraved with meticulous detail by Hewson Clarke for "The History of War" this print transports us back to that momentous day when nations clashed for supremacy. It serves as a reminder not only of bravery displayed on both sides but also the immense human cost endured during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images collection today, we cannot help but feel awe-inspired by those who fought valiantly at Waterloo over two centuries ago.
