EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sir Thomas Picton fell in the thickets of the fight" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of Waterloo. Created by George Jones in 1816 and published by J. Booth, this print captures the intensity and sacrifice of war. In this scene, we witness Sir Thomas Picton, a British commander, falling amidst the chaos of battle. The artist's skillful sketching brings forth every detail: soldiers engaged in combat, bodies strewn across the battlefield, and an atmosphere charged with tension. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the brutal realities faced by those who fought during the War of the Seventh Coalition. It symbolizes not only Picton's personal sacrifice but also represents countless lives lost on both sides. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from The Stapleton Collection held within a private collection today, it evokes emotions ranging from admiration for these brave soldiers to sorrow for their untimely deaths. This engraving allows us to reflect on humanity's capacity for conflict and our collective responsibility to strive for peace. Let this powerful image serve as a testament to those who fought valiantly at Waterloo and inspire us all to work towards a world where such battles are consigned solely to history books.
