EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the essence of history and strategic importance. The Farm of Papelotte, depicted in this photolitho print, stands as a testament to its crucial role during the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. As one of three farms that protected the right flank of the Allied army, alongside Hougoumont Farm and La Haie-Sainte, it played a vital part in Wellington's strategy. The image showcases a picturesque scene with sheep grazing peacefully amidst hay bales while a shepherd tends to his flock. This serene setting belies the intense battle that once raged on these very grounds. The farm's protective walls and structures provided cover for soldiers defending their positions against Napoleon's forces. Dating back to approximately 1912, this commemorative postcard serves as a visual reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought at Waterloo. Its historical significance is further enhanced by being captured by an anonymous Belgian photographer from the early 20th century. As we reflect upon this image, let us remember how pivotal sites like Papelotte were in shaping our world today. They serve as reminders not only of past conflicts but also of human resilience and determination when faced with adversity.
