EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a trial pattern for the Waterloo Medal, created in 1815. Crafted from bronze by an anonymous English artist of the 19th century, this intricate design offers a glimpse into the artistic process behind this prestigious decoration. The National Army Museum in London proudly houses this remarkable piece. The medal's obverse side is not displayed here but can be found in another image (1268488). This particular pattern was ultimately not chosen as the final design for the Waterloo Medal. However, its exquisite details and symbolism are truly awe-inspiring. Intricately woven wreaths encircle a central medallion, adorned with angelic figures and delicate leaf motifs. These angels seem to guard over the medal's recipient, symbolizing their bravery and valor on the battlefield during the Napoleonic Wars. Notably, oak leaves are prominently featured within these designs – a powerful emblem of strength and endurance. Each element harmoniously combines to create an award that would have honored those who fought valiantly at the Battle of Waterloo. As we gaze upon this extraordinary trial pattern, we cannot help but appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. It serves as a testament to human creativity and pays homage to those who selflessly served their country during times of conflict.
