EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Waterloo June 18th 1815: The Old Guard" takes us back in time to one of the most significant battles in history. Illustrated by Richard Caton Woodville II, this piece is a part of the renowned collection "British Battles on Land and Sea" published in 1915. The image depicts the legendary French Imperial Guard, known as the "Old Guard" who were Napoleon Bonaparte's elite infantry troops. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, these soldiers stand tall with unwavering determination etched upon their faces. Their weapons are held firmly, ready for battle. Woodville's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. From the intricate engravings on their muskets to every crease and fold of their uniforms, each element is meticulously captured. As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear the thunderous sounds of cannons firing and feel the tension that filled the air during this decisive battle. It serves as a reminder of not only the bravery displayed by both sides but also how Waterloo forever changed European history. Preserved within Fine Art Finder's private collection, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an era long past. It stands as a testament to our fascination with military campaigns and reminds us of those who fought valiantly for what they believed in.
