The Battle of Waterloo: The British Repel Napoleon’s Final Attack, June 18, 1815
Description:
This dramatic and finely detailed engraving, published in 1816 as part of 'The Campaign of Waterloo', captures one of the most defining moments of the battle that sealed Napoleon’s fate. The scene illustrates the decisive counterattack by the British and Allied forces against the French on the evening of June 18, 1815. As the smoke of battle fills the sky, soldiers clad in the striking red coats of the British army stand firm against the relentless onslaught of Napoleon’s troops.
At the center of the composition, British officers on horseback direct their forces amid the chaos of war. Infantrymen in disciplined formations unleash volleys of musket fire, while fallen soldiers and scattered weapons litter the battlefield. To the right, a British standard-bearer proudly raises the Union Jack amidst the carnage, reinforcing the sense of resilience and determination. The vast landscape beyond reveals the sheer scale of the battle, with distant forces locked in combat under a dramatic, cloud-filled sky.
The engraving’s fine detail and vibrant hand-coloring highlight the intensity of the battle, from the expressions of the soldiers to the movement of horses and smoke billowing from musket fire. The use of light and shadow enhances the realism, drawing the viewer into the scene as an eyewitness to history.
This print was published by Robert Bowyer, a leading British engraver and printmaker, who sought to provide a visual record of Waterloo for a contemporary audience captivated by Napoleon’s downfall. It remains a valuable artifact today, offering both historical and artistic significance for collectors of Napoleonic, military, and historical prints.
