EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Review of the English Troops at Montmartre by the Duke of Wellington, 21st October 1815" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Engraved by M. Dubourg in 1817 and later lithographed by George Scharf Sr. , this artwork beautifully depicts an event that marked the end of Anglo-French hostility. The image showcases a picturesque landscape with windmills dotting the horizon as British soldiers stand tall and proud in their uniforms. The Duke of Wellington himself can be seen on horseback, meticulously inspecting his troops during this review. This inspection symbolizes not only military strength but also signifies the English occupation and victory over Napoleon's forces. As we delve into this piece, we are transported to early 19th-century Paris, where tensions ran high amidst battles and warfare. The presence of horses adds an element of liveliness to the scene, while also reminding us of their crucial role in military operations. The attention to detail captured through engraving brings out every nuance – from each soldier's uniform to the majestic windmills adorning Montmartre hill. It is a testament to Arthur Wellesley's leadership as he reviews his troops with precision and determination. This extraordinary artwork serves as a reminder of historical triumphs and sacrifices made by armies throughout centuries past. As we admire this print from Muse
