EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous encounter between a Highlander from the Black Watch regiment and a General of Hussars, possibly Lord Uxbridge. The image is believed to be a study for George Jones' famous oil painting, "The Battle of Waterloo". In this historic composition, we witness Field Marshal Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey, in his earlier years when he was known as Lord Paget or the Earl of Uxbridge. Lord Uxbridge's remarkable military career and political influence have left an indelible mark on British history. The photograph showcases the resolute gaze of both men as they stand side by side. The Highlander exudes strength and loyalty while wearing the distinctive tartan kilt that symbolizes his Scottish heritage. Lord Uxbridge stands tall in his elegant hussar uniform, embodying authority and command. It is worth noting that Lord Uxbridge's most renowned feat occurred during the Battle of Waterloo when he fearlessly led the charge against Erlon's column with heavy cavalry. This act has forever etched him into history books as one of Britain's greatest military leaders. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed Paul Mellon Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary moment frozen in time. It serves as a powerful reminder of bravery, sacrifice, and camaraderie within the British army during one of its defining moments – the Battle of Waterloo in 1815
