EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of Ligny Castle takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo. Created by James Rouse, this coloured engraving showcases the field where French and Prussian forces clashed on that fateful day in June 1815. The image transports us to a scene filled with destruction and echoes of war. In the distance, Sombref emerges from the haze, accompanied by a mill, church, and the heights of Brie. These landmarks serve as silent witnesses to the fierce battle that unfolded here. The castle's sturdy walls stand tall amidst the chaos, reminding us of its historical significance. As we explore every detail captured in this artwork, we can almost hear whispers from soldiers who once occupied these towers. Their presence lingers within each stroke of Rouse's engraving. This print not only immortalizes an important moment in history but also offers a glimpse into everyday life during those turbulent times. It reminds us that even amidst conflict and destruction, people sought shelter and solace within these castles - symbols of strength and resilience. Now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this remarkable piece allows us to reflect on our shared human experience through artistry and remembrance.
