EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Field Marshal The Marquis of Anglesea, Henry William Paget, in all his regal glory. Created in 1820 by renowned artist Sir William Beechey and engraved by Joseph Brown, this stipple engraving captures the essence of a distinguished military leader. In this portrait, Lord Paget is depicted wearing the resplendent robes of the Order of the Bath. His commanding presence and dignified demeanor reflect his illustrious career as a cavalry commander during significant historical events. Lord Paget's military prowess was demonstrated through his leadership roles in various regiments throughout Europe. From commanding the 16th Regiment of Dragoons to leading Wellington's cavalry at Waterloo, he left an indelible mark on British military history. However, it was at Waterloo where Lord Paget suffered a grievous injury that would forever be associated with his name. A piece of shot shattered his leg but narrowly missed striking Wellington himself. This act of valor earned him not only recognition but also the title Marquess of Anglesey and later promotion to Field Marshal. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Lord Paget's dedication and sacrifice for king and country. It allows us to glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when courage prevailed amidst chaos on the battlefield.
