EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment at the close of the Battle of Waterloo. Engraved by M. Dubourg in 1819, this coloured aquatint depicts an accidental meeting between two legendary military leaders - Wellington and Blucher. The image is part of Clark's collection titled "Historic, Military and Naval anecdotes" published by Edward Orme. In the moonlit battlefield, amidst torches illuminating the night sky, Prussian Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blucher unexpectedly encounters his British counterpart Arthur Wellesley, famously known as the Duke of Wellington. Both commanders stand tall and resolute, their presence commanding respect from their troops. The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and mutual admiration as these great men shake hands in acknowledgment of their shared victory over Napoleon Bonaparte's forces. It symbolizes not only a chance encounter but also represents the unity between nations during times of war. The composition beautifully captures the tension-filled atmosphere with its dark nocturnal tones contrasting against flickering torchlight. Every detail speaks volumes about bravery, valour, and personal sacrifice on both sides. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection at National Army Museum in London, we are transported back to that fateful day in Belgium when history was forever changed by these extraordinary individuals and their armies.
