EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle of Waterloo in 1815, as depicted by artist Matthew Dubourg. The scene showcases a pivotal moment where French Cuirassiers find themselves charging headlong into defeat at the hands of the Highlanders and Scots Greys. Published in Edward Orme's "Historic, Military and Naval Anecdotes" in 1817, this artwork brings to life the ferocity and chaos of war during the Napoleonic era. The image is rich with historical significance, showcasing soldiers from different nations engaged in fierce combat on Belgian soil. The British army stands tall, their vibrant red uniforms contrasting against the backdrop of smoke-filled skies. Mounted on horseback, these brave men wield bayonets and muskets while displaying unwavering determination to protect their country. In stark contrast are the French Cuirassiers clad in heavy armor, charging forward with an air of confidence that quickly turns to desperation as they face off against skilled Scottish warriors. The Highlanders' kilts billow behind them as they valiantly defend their homeland. This aquatint print not only serves as a visual testament to one of history's most significant battles but also highlights themes such as bravery, sacrifice, and national pride. It transports viewers back to a time when warfare was fought face-to-face on open battlefields rather than through modern technology. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Historica Graphica Collection, it reminds us of both the horrors and heroism
