EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Part of the village of Mont St Jean" offers a glimpse into the historical significance and devastation caused by war. Created by James Rouse in the 19th century, this print showcases a considerable part of the British army bivouacked in Mont St Jean during the Battle of Waterloo. The image transports us to a time when armies clashed on this very battlefield. The destruction is evident as we witness soldiers, gunners, and cannons scattered throughout the village. The windmill stands tall amidst chaos, serving as a poignant symbol of resilience amid turmoil. Mont St Jean played a crucial role in this battle; it served as both shelter for British troops and later became home to French artillery after their victory. This print not only captures an important moment in history but also highlights how war can transform peaceful villages into battlegrounds. As we observe this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded that these scenes were once real-life events with profound consequences for those involved. It serves as a reminder to appreciate peace and reflect upon the sacrifices made by countless individuals throughout history.
