EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during the Battle of Waterloo, showcasing the heroic actions of The Horse (Life) Guards. In this intense scene, one of the officers is seen triumphantly cutting off the epaulette from a French colonel he has just killed in combat. Engraved by M. Dubourg and colored aquatinted by William Heath in 1819, this artwork provides a glimpse into the historic military anecdotes that unfolded during this long-contested war. Published as part of "Historic, Military and Naval Anecdotes" edited by Edward Orme, this piece immortalizes not only the valour and bravery displayed by British armies but also highlights specific incidents that occurred throughout Great Britain's alliance with other forces leading up to Waterloo. The image showcases soldiers on horseback engaged in fierce confrontation amidst the chaos of battlefields. It offers an insight into cavalry warfare during the Napoleonic Wars, emphasizing both individual acts of heroism and collective efforts within armed forces. As we observe these brave men fighting for victory against their adversaries, it becomes evident that every aspect – from infantry to cavalry – played a crucial role in shaping history. This print serves as a reminder of their sacrifices and dedication while capturing an iconic moment where triumph meets conflict on Belgian soil.
