EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured aquatint print, titled "Hussars, A view near Mont St Jean" takes us back to the historic Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this artwork is housed at the National Army Museum in London. The scene depicted showcases a moment of intense action and bravery as hussars charge forward with their swords drawn. The inscription urges them to "Charge like lightning with the remains of your troop on the flank of the Lancers". The soldiers, belonging to the 7th Light Dragoons and Queen's Own Light Dragoons regiments, epitomize courage and determination as they attack their enemies during this significant Napoleonic War battle. Mounted on powerful horses, these uniformed men ride fearlessly into battle. Their uniforms reflect British military attire of that era. This image captures not only their equestrian skills but also highlights their unwavering loyalty towards their country. The print offers a glimpse into history while showcasing both human and animal strength amidst war-torn landscapes. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and justice during one of Europe's most decisive battles. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from our past, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value while honoring those who served in armed forces throughout history.
