This evocative engraving by Edward Read captures the essence of post-Waterloo life through its intricate details and poetic composition. The scene depicted in this lithograph transports us to a time when soldiers returning from battle were greeted with open arms by their loved ones. The artist skillfully portrays the emotional reunion between war-weary heroes and their families, as they embrace each other amidst a backdrop of triumph and relief. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, Read brings depth to every figure in the print, allowing us to feel their joyous emotions as they come together once again.
