EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the review of British troops at Montmartre, near Paris, by the esteemed Duke of Wellington on October 21st, 1815. Engraved by M. Dubourg and colored aquatinted by George the Elder Scharf, this artwork is a testament to the bravery and valour displayed during the Napoleonic Wars. The image showcases Arthur Wellesley, better known as the 1st Duke of Wellington, who was not only a distinguished military commander but also an influential statesman. As he inspects and reviews his troops with great precision and authority, one can sense his leadership and strategic prowess. The scene is filled with elements that evoke both awe and admiration - from the majestic horses ridden by cavalry soldiers to naval vessels in the distance. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as these armed forces prepare for battle against their French counterparts. This historic moment symbolizes more than just a routine inspection; it represents a clash between nations, ideologies, and ambitions. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought bravely for their countries during this long-contested war.
