EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wellington on the eve of Waterloo" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by C. Dudley Tennant, a talented illustrator and artist, this colour lithograph captures the essence of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, on the night before the infamous Battle of Waterloo. Intriguingly, we find ourselves amidst a ball held by the Duchess of Richmond in Brussels. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as Wellington mingles with fellow officers and distinguished guests. His commanding presence is evident as he stands tall amongst them all. As we gaze at this image from the Private Collection of The Stapletons, we are reminded that behind every great military figure lies an individual who experiences moments like these – moments that shape their destiny and alter the course of history. Tennant's attention to detail brings life to each character depicted in this illustration. From Jane Lennox and other children playing nearby to Wellington himself, every element tells its own story within this larger narrative. This remarkable piece not only showcases Tennant's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to Wellington's legacy as both soldier and statesman. It invites us to reflect upon his pivotal role in shaping Europe's future during one fateful battle that would forever be etched into our collective memory: Waterloo.
