EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Battle of Waterloo, which took place in 1815 and marked Napoleon Bonaparte's final battle. The panoramic sketch showcases the vast battlefield where this momentous event unfolded. The defeat suffered by Napoleon at Waterloo brought an end to his reign as Emperor of France, solidifying his downfall. The significance of this battle extends beyond just ending Napoleon's rule; it also signaled the conclusion of the Hundred Days period that began when he returned from exile on Elba. This return followed his previous defeats at Leipzig in 1813 and during the campaigns in France in 1814. The artist, J Booth, skillfully depicts the intensity and magnitude of this historical conflict through their detailed engraving. The vibrant colors used bring life to a scene that forever changed European history. In this image, we witness two iconic figures: Arthur Wellesley, better known as the Duke of Wellington or "the Iron Duke" who led the coalition forces against Napoleon; and Napoleon Bonaparte himself – a military genius whose ambitions ultimately crumbled on these very grounds. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when nations clashed for power and ideals. It serves as a reminder of how pivotal moments like these shape our world today.
