EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Waterloo commemorative jug from around 1815. Crafted in stoneware by an English School artist of the 19th century, this exquisite jug can be found at the National Army Museum in London. The intricate design on this jug tells a tale of victory and alliance. On the front, two hands emerge from cornucopias to clasp in front of a winged wand, symbolizing the meeting between Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley (1st Duke of Wellington) and Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher after their triumph over Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo on June 18,1815. The inscription "PEACE & PLENTY" below the spout and "BLUCHER" to the left of the handle honor these great military leaders. The blue and white color scheme adds elegance to its ornate decoration. This ceramic masterpiece serves as both a portrait gallery and a commemoration of one of history's most significant battles. It captures not only the bravery and strategic brilliance displayed by Wellington and Blücher but also pays tribute to their enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment firsthand.
