EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and chaos of the historic Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Plate 29 from Wellingtons Victories, published by T. Tegg in 1818, showcases a coloured aquatint created by William Heath (1795-1840). The image is housed at the National Army Museum in London. In this scene, we witness the Duke of Wellington leading his troops on horseback to secure an English victory. The battlefield is filled with soldiers engaged in fierce combat, their determination evident as they clash against each other. Horses gallop through the chaos, adding to the sense of urgency and movement. Arthur Wellesley, also known as the Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), stands tall amidst this tumultuous scene. His strategic brilliance and leadership skills are showcased as he guides his men towards triumph. The presence of horses throughout this artwork highlights their crucial role during warfare. They symbolize strength and power while serving as loyal companions to their riders. This print not only commemorates a significant historical event but also serves as a reminder of human resilience and sacrifice during times of conflict. It encapsulates both the brutality and heroism witnessed on that fateful day at Waterloo. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to relive one of history's most pivotal battles—a testament to mankind's enduring spirit even amidst adversity.
