EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Death of Sir Thomas Picton at Waterloo, 1815" transports us back to one of the most significant battles in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment during the Battle of Waterloo. The scene depicts the tragic demise of Sir Thomas Picton, a renowned British officer who fought valiantly on that fateful day. With meticulous detail and skillful composition, the artist brings forth the chaos and intensity of war. The viewer is immersed in a sea of soldiers engaged in combat while smoke billows from cannon fire. In this somber image, we witness Picton's final moments as he falls victim to enemy fire. His face bears both determination and anguish as he succumbs to his wounds. This powerful portrayal serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by brave individuals like Picton for their country. Originally featured in Cassel's Historical Scrap Book around 1880, this digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every intricate line and shading technique employed by the artist. Preserved within a private collection but now accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon history and honor those who fought with unwavering courage at Waterloo.
