EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the historic site of the Battle of Waterloo, specifically to the main archway leading to Hougoumont Farm in Belgium. The image, taken circa 1910s, showcases the farmhouse and its surrounding buildings with an air of tranquility that belies the intense fighting that once took place here on 18 June 1815. Hougoumont Farm was a principal site of the Battle of Waterloo, one of the most significant battles in European history. The farmhouse and its outbuildings were fiercely contested during the battle between the French army, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, and the allied forces of the Seventh Coalition, led by the Duke of Wellington. The archway, with its grand stone construction, stands as a testament to the heritage and historical significance of this place. The farmhouse, with its red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls, is surrounded by other buildings, some of which appear to be in a state of disrepair. The trees and foliage in the foreground add a sense of depth and texture to the image, while the blue sky overhead provides a contrasting backdrop. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and heritage that this site holds. The Battle of Waterloo marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the beginning of a new era in European history. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the past, inviting us to reflect on the events that once unfolded here and the legacy they left behind.
