EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les Quatre Bras, from An Historical Account of the Battle of Waterloo" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving, created by James Rouse in 1817 and colored with aquatint technique, showcases French troops marching down a road during the Napoleonic Wars. This artwork is one of 29 beautifully crafted colored aquatints that provide an invaluable historical account. In this particular scene, we witness the impressive sight of cavalry at the rear as they make their way through a village. The soldiers' disciplined columns create a striking contrast against the backdrop of quaint buildings and picturesque countryside. Horses play a vital role in this military operation, adding an element of strength and power to the composition. The Battle of Waterloo holds immense significance as it marked Napoleon Bonaparte's final defeat in 1815. This print captures not only the intensity but also the strategic movements involved in such historic conflicts. It serves as both a visual testament to those who fought bravely on these grounds and an educational tool for future generations. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history and gain insight into warfare tactics employed during that era. With its attention to detail and vibrant colors, this print by Hamilton C. C. , after James Rouse's original work, stands as a remarkable piece within military artistry.
