EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of the historic Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The color lithograph, created by an English School artist from the 19th century, showcases a scene filled with humor and irony. In this comical illustration for "Really and Truly" by Mrs. Ernest Ames, we see a proud-looking man driving off in a horse-drawn cart. It is none other than the great Bonaparte himself, Napoleon I. Despite his defeat at Waterloo, he appears undeterred as he flees the battlefield in an entertaining fashion. The image perfectly blends historical significance with amusing storytelling. The defeated French general's attempt to escape on a humble cart adds a touch of comic relief to an otherwise intense moment in history. As children rhyme along to tales of battles and conquerors, this print offers them a glimpse into European history while tickling their funny bone. It serves as both educational and entertaining material for young minds eager to learn about significant events like the Napoleonic Wars. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, this artwork transports us back to that fateful day when Britain emerged victorious over France's formidable emperor. It reminds us that even in moments of defeat, there can be moments of lightheartedness amidst the chaos. This Fine Art Finder print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also invites us into an engaging narrative set within one of Europe's most iconic battles - truly capturing history through art.
