EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the 28th ist Gloucester Regiment receiving French cavalry at Waterloo on the 18th of June, 1815. The illustration, taken from the book "British Battles on Land and Sea" published in 1915, was created by renowned artist William Barnes Wollen. In this scene, we witness the clash of two mighty forces as British soldiers face off against French cavalry. The tension is palpable as both sides prepare for battle. The soldiers stand tall and resolute in their uniforms, armed with weapons ready to defend their respective nations. The image not only showcases the bravery and determination of these troops but also highlights the significance of this historic event. Waterloo was a turning point in European history, marking Napoleon Bonaparte's final defeat and ending his reign as Emperor of France. Wollen's meticulous attention to detail brings this moment to life, capturing every nuance of expression on each soldier's face. Through his skillful engraving technique, he transports us back to that fateful day when thousands fought for victory on Belgian soil. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us. It serves as a testament to the courage and resilience displayed by these men during one of history's most pivotal battles - an enduring symbol of honor and valor that continues to inspire generations.
