EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Guns to the front: Waterloo 18th June 1815" takes us back in time to one of history's most significant battles. Illustrated by William Barnes Wollen, a renowned English artist, this piece captures the intensity and chaos that unfolded on that fateful day. The scene depicts British soldiers bravely facing their French adversaries amidst the smoke-filled battlefield. Uniformed men stand resolute with guns pointed forward, ready for combat. The meticulous attention to detail showcases the intricacies of their uniforms and weapons, transporting us directly into this historic moment. Wollen's skillful use of lithography brings depth and texture to his work, adding an extra layer of realism. Each stroke seems to capture not only the physicality but also the emotions felt during this battle - fear, determination, and unwavering courage. Published in Cassell and Company's "British Battles on Land and Sea" in 1915, this print serves as a reminder of our past triumphs and sacrifices made by those who fought for their nations. It is a testament to human resilience in times of conflict. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection today, let it serve as a poignant reminder of history's lessons learned while honoring those who fought valiantly at Waterloo over two centuries ago.
