EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British history - the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. The aquatint, created by W. T. Fry and T. Sutherland and published by J. Jenkins in London on the same date two years later, depicts Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, better known as the Duke of Wellington, alongside other distinguished officers. The image showcases the bravery and camaraderie of these military leaders who played a crucial role in securing victory against Napoleon Bonaparte's forces during the Napoleonic Wars. Amidst billowing smoke and flying flags, they stand tall on horseback amidst a chaotic battlefield. The Duke of Wellington himself was not only an esteemed soldier but also a respected statesman. His leadership skills were instrumental in shaping Europe's political landscape during this tumultuous era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from William Heath (1795-1840), we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these brave men for their nation. The Union Jack proudly flutters above them, symbolizing unity and patriotism. This print is housed at the National Army Museum in London, serving as a testament to our rich military heritage. It serves as a poignant reminder that war leaves an indelible mark on both soldiers and nations alike. Without mentioning any commercial use or specific company details, Bridgeman Images has brought us closer to this significant historical event through their fine art finder collection
