EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous lithograph captures the essence of Napoleon's retreat from Waterloo on 18th June, 1815. Created by Arthur Moreland in 1876, this colourful print showcases a satirical take on history through its visual comic elements. The scene depicts a chaotic battle scene with Napoleon Bonaparte at the center of attention. The English army is shown triumphantly driving him away while poking fun at his defeat. The cartoon-like caricatures add an element of humor to the composition, making it both entertaining and informative. Moreland's illustration was originally created for "Humors of History" in 1905, showcasing his talent for combining historical events with comedic storytelling. This particular artwork highlights England's victory over Napoleon and their role in shaping European history. With its bold colors and exaggerated characters, this lithograph offers a scathing satire that reflects the artist's wit and creativity. It not only serves as a reminder of significant historical events but also provides an amusing perspective on them. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this print continues to captivate viewers with its clever blend of comedy and history. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded that even serious subjects can be approached with light-heartedness without diminishing their importance or impact.
