EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the distinguished figure of Field Marshal (FM) von Blucher, Prince of Wagstadt (1742-1819), in a full-length equestrian portrait. The image, created by an unknown artist in 1815, is the thirteenth print in the series "History of the Wars of Europe" published by Richard Evans. Prince Blucher, a pivotal military leader of the Prussian army during the Napoleonic Wars, is depicted here in regal attire, wearing a red military coat adorned with gold braid and a white plume on his tricorn hat. His horse, a powerful steed, is also outfitted for battle with a red blanket and gold trim. The background of the image is filled with lush greenery, adding to the serene and majestic atmosphere. The engraving was produced in the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, which took place on June 18, 1815. Blucher's timely arrival at the battlefield with the Prussian army was a turning point in the conflict, as it prevented the French forces from achieving a decisive victory. The image serves as a testament to Blucher's military prowess and his crucial role in the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. This print is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the appearance and accomplishments of one of the most influential military leaders of the early 19th century. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the prince's uniform to the lifelike portrayal of his horse, make it a stunning addition to any collection of historical art or military memorabilia.
