EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Chapel of Waterloo" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment in time at this historic site. The image showcases the exterior of the chapel, with its grand dome standing tall against the sky. Surrounding it are gravestones and tombstones, each holding stories of lives lost during the Battle of La Belle Alliance on June 18th, 1815. Two prominent tombstones catch our attention - one dedicated to Lieut-Colonel Richard Fitzgerald of the 2nd Regiment The Footguards, who bravely fought but tragically fell during that fateful battle. The other memorializes Colonel de Langrehr, Commandant of the First Battalion of Bremen, a German officer who also met his end on that same day. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we can't help but feel a sense of solemnity and reverence for those who sacrificed their lives in defense of their nations. This scene serves as a reminder not only of the horrors and heroism witnessed during war but also as an invitation for tourists to pay homage to these fallen soldiers. The Chapel's presence amidst this churchyard or graveyard adds an element of spirituality and reflection to this historical site. It stands as both a memorial and symbolizes hope for peace after such devastating conflict. Through this beautifully detailed engraving by James Rouse, we are transported back in time to witness history etched into stone and forever remembered through art
