EDITORS COMMENTS
The Field of Waterloo: A Panoramic View of the Battlefield the Morning after the Fateful Encounter on June 18, 1815 This evocative and meticulously detailed coloured aquatint, titled "The Field of Waterloo as it appeared the Morning after the Memorable Battle of the 18th June 1815," offers a breathtaking glimpse into the aftermath of one of the most significant military engagements in European history. The image, created by the skilled hand of M. Dubourg, after the original painting by John Heaviside Clark, and published by Edward Orme in London in 1817, invites us to explore the battlefield as it lay silent and still in the early hours following the Napoleonic Wars' climactic clash between the French and the Seventh Coalition forces. The panoramic view reveals the vast expanse of the battlefield, strewn with the remnants of war: horses and men, both victorious and vanquished, lie intermingled amidst the debris of battle. The once-fierce lines of troops have dissipated, leaving only the ghostly outlines of their encampments. The smoke from the previous day's cannon fire has begun to clear, revealing a landscape scarred by the brutal conflict that transpired. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, as well as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who fought. The Field of Waterloo, as depicted in this aquatint, stands as a powerful symbol of the historical significance of the Battle of Waterloo and the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
