EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Up, Guards, and at them! Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo" by Richard Caton Woodville II, transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts the Duke of Wellington leading his troops into battle against Napoleon Bonaparte's forces. In this intense scene, we witness soldiers filled with determination and fearlessness as they charge forward with bayonets fixed. Amongst them stands a young drummer boy, symbolizing the bravery and sacrifice of even the youngest participants in war. The artist skillfully captures the anguish and anxiety that permeate the air. The standards held high represent unwavering loyalty to their cause despite facing imminent defeat. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the immense courage displayed by those who fought on both sides during this historic clash. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork also evokes emotions related to childhood innocence amidst chaos. The presence of children highlights how war affects not only adults but also younger generations who bear witness to its horrors. Woodville's magnificent chromolithograph was originally created for Holly Leaves, an edition of Illustrated Sported and Dramatic News published in 1899. Preserved within a private collection today, it continues to captivate viewers with its powerful portrayal of heroism and resilience in times of conflict.
