Up, Guards, and at them!
EDITORS COMMENTS
roars the Duke of Wellington, leading his Foot Guards into the fray at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. This vivid oleolithograph, published as a supplement to the Christmas Number of the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News in 1899, captures the intensity and courage of the British soldiers as they charge against the French army under Napoleon Bonaparte. The Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, born in 1769, had led the British and allied forces to a decisive victory against the French at the Battle of Waterloo, marking the end of the Napoleonic Wars. In this image, we see him in the thick of the action, wearing his iconic red military coat and tricorn hat, inspiring his troops with his commanding presence. The Foot Guards, dressed in their distinctive bearskin hats and red uniforms, follow their leader with determination and discipline. Their muskets are at the ready as they advance towards the enemy lines. The chaos and danger of the battlefield are palpable in the background, with smoke rising from the guns and the clashing of swords and drums filling the air. This historical artwork, created by the renowned English painter Richard Caton Woodville, is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the Foot Guards during the Battle of Waterloo. It is a powerful reminder of the pivotal role they played in shaping the course of European history.
