EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 19th century image captures the Duke of Wellington, renowned British military leader and victor of the Battle of Waterloo, on horseback. The Duke, dressed in full military regalia, is shown pointing towards a group of soldiers below, who are carefully polishing their knives with Oakeys Knife Polish. The Duke's horse, a powerful and well-groomed steed, stands beside him, its coat glistening in the sunlight. In the background, the British army's banners and flags flutter in the wind, adding to the sense of grandeur and military might. The Duke's expression conveys a sense of approval and pride, as he acknowledges the importance of even the smallest details in maintaining the readiness of his troops. This advertisement for Oakeys Knife Polish effectively conveys the product's ability to help soldiers keep their weapons in top condition, a crucial aspect of military life. The image is a testament to the attention to detail and dedication to excellence that characterized the British military during this era.
