EDITORS COMMENTS

The image pays homage to three significant events that start with the letter "W" - General George Washington's leadership during the American Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte's victory at the Battle of Wagram in Austria, and his ultimate defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. Victor Adam skillfully captures these historical moments through intricate graphic design and meticulous attention to detail. The composition features a central monument adorned with crosses symbolizing lives lost in battle. Surrounding it are various elements representing each event: an architectural structure reminiscent of Washington D.

Through this print, Victor Adam invites viewers to reflect on the impact of these pivotal moments on our collective history.
