EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Edge of the Foret de Soignes, from An Historical Account of the Battle of Waterloo" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by James Rouse in the 19th century, this coloured aquatint transports us to Belgium during the Napoleonic Wars. The image showcases a scene on the outskirts of Foret de Soignes, where figures are seen burying their fallen comrades after the Battle of Waterloo. The somber atmosphere is palpable as men diligently dig graves while others stand solemnly nearby. In the background, we catch glimpses of roads leading into villages and forests that bear witness to this historical event. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of cobbled roads and buildings dotting the landscape. Horses can be spotted amidst these scenes, reminding us that they played a crucial role during warfare at that time. As we delve deeper into this print, our eyes are drawn towards Sonian Forest's lush greenery and its wildlife inhabitants. This juxtaposition between human activity and nature serves as a poignant reminder that life continues even amidst times of conflict. Overall, this artwork not only captures an important historical moment but also invites contemplation about war's impact on both man-made structures and natural landscapes. It stands as a testament to human resilience while urging viewers to reflect upon our shared history.
