EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Waterloo: A Depiction after Walter Scott's Poem 'The Field of Waterloo' (Verse 36) The poignant scene depicted in this print commemorates the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, which took place on the 18th of June, 1815. The historic event marked the final defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte, bringing an end to the Napoleonic Wars that had ravaged Europe for over a decade. This moving image, inspired by Sir Walter Scott's poem 'The Field of Waterloo,' captures the poignant moment of reflection after the chaos of war. The verse inscribed at the bottom of the print, 'Alas! what links of love that morn has Wars rude hand asunder torn! Here piled in common slaughter sleep those whom affection long shall weep,' encapsulates the heartache and sorrow that followed in the wake of the battle. The image portrays a serene and peaceful scene, with the sun setting over the battlefield. The once-ferocious warriors are now united in death, their bodies piled high in a tragic testament to the futility of war. The scene is one of quiet reflection, as the survivors and the bereaved come to terms with the devastating consequences of the conflict. The Battle of Waterloo was a pivotal moment in European history, and this poignant print serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war. It invites us to reflect on the enduring bonds of love and affection that were torn apart by the brutal hand of war, and the long-lasting impact of loss and grief.
