EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment during the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815 when the Cuirassiers found themselves surrounded by the formidable 79 Regiment and Scotch Greys. The engraving, created by William Heath and published by Richard Evans in 1816, beautifully depicts this historic confrontation. The scene is filled with billowing smoke from musket fire, creating a dramatic backdrop for the chaos unfolding on the battlefield. The landscape is scarred by war, reflecting the brutal reality of warfare during this period. British soldiers stand resolute as they face off against their French adversaries, showcasing their unwavering determination to protect their homeland. Amidst this tumultuous clash between cavalry units and infantry troops, each side fights fiercely for victory. The Scottish Greys charge forward with their distinctive plumed helmets while cuirassiers clad in heavy armor prepare to engage in close combat. It is a true test of strength and courage as these brave men confront each other amidst the chaos of battle. This historical print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during one of history's most significant conflicts - Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo. Preserved within the National Army Museum in London, it stands as a testament to those who fought valiantly for their countries and offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared human history marked by conflict and bravery.
