This print showcases a remarkable wine cooler that holds significant historical value. The wine cooler, displayed at APSLEY HOUSE in London, was originally part of the Duke of Wellington's Prussian Service and was crafted in Berlin between 1817 and 1819. A generous gift from the King of Prussia to the Duke himself, this exquisite piece depicts troops commanded by the Duke during his time in France in 1815. In this particular portrayal captured by Historic England Photo Library, we see two distinguished regiments: the 2nd (Coldstream) Guards on the left and the 1st Grenadier Guards. These British Foot Guards stand tall and proud, symbolizing their unwavering commitment to duty and service.

It is a poignant reminder of how alliances were forged through shared experiences on battlefields like Waterloo. As an artefact steeped in history, this wine cooler embodies both elegance and significance. Its presence evokes admiration for those who fought bravely under Wellington's command while also serving as a tangible link to an era long past. Through this photograph, we are granted a glimpse into our collective heritage—a visual representation of valorous soldiers whose stories continue to resonate with us today.
