EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Waterloo. Conveying the French Cannon from the Field of Battle" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the aftermath of the famous Battle of Waterloo on July 24th, 1815. The aquatint captures a scene where British troops proudly march past the Church of St Joseph in the village of Waterloo, accompanied by captured French cannon. As we observe this historical snapshot, our attention is drawn to a crowd of curious sightseers who have gathered to witness this victorious procession. The atmosphere is charged with excitement and curiosity as people eagerly watch these soldiers parade through their village. The composition beautifully showcases both triumph and defeat; while British troops celebrate their victory over Napoleon's Imperial Guard, defeated soldiers can be seen in the background. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that war leaves no side untouched by its consequences. The artist's meticulous attention to detail transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine what it must have been like for those present on that fateful day. Through this artwork, we gain insight into not only military strategy but also how ordinary civilians experienced such monumental events. This print serves as an important historical document and testament to human resilience and determination during times of conflict. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, life continues - symbolized by horses peacefully grazing nearby - offering hope for a brighter future beyond war's grasp.
