EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Centre of the British Army at La Haye Sainte during the Battle of Waterloo" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. Etched by Thomas Sutherland in 1816, this coloured aquatint beautifully captures the intensity and chaos of war. In this scene, we witness a dramatic clash between the British cavalry and French cuirassiers and lancers. The battlefield is engulfed in thick clouds of cannon smoke as soldiers fight fiercely for victory. Amidst it all stands La Haye Sainte, serving as the center point for the British army's strategic formation. The image showcases not only the bravery and determination of these troops but also their unwavering unity. Squares of infantry stand strong against enemy attacks while cavalry charges through to drive off their adversaries. It is a testament to their skillful coordination and resilience amidst such chaotic circumstances. Beyond just depicting warfare, this photograph offers glimpses into civilian life as well. A farmer and his farmhouse can be seen on one side, reminding us that battles often took place on lands where people lived and worked peacefully before conflict erupted. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, this historical masterpiece reminds us of both triumphs and sacrifices made during times of war. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to that fateful day at Waterloo when destinies were shaped amid cannons roaring and soldiers fighting with unyielding courage.
