EDITORS COMMENTS
is a striking and poignant photolithograph print by Lady Elizabeth Southerden Butler, originally published by Leeds City Art Galleries in 1980. This beautiful, coloured image captures the emotional intensity of the moment as the 2nd Royal North British Dragoons, also known as the Scots Greys, charge into battle during the historic clash at Waterloo on June 18, 1815. Lady Elizabeth Southerden Butler, who went by the name Mrs. William Butler, was a talented artist and writer, best known for her work documenting the lives of soldiers and their families. Her connection to the military was personal, as her husband, Sir William Butler, had served in the British Army. This background lends an authenticity and depth to her depiction of the Scots Greys in the heat of battle. The photolithograph, created in 1881, is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Scottish soldiers and their unwavering loyalty to their country. The title "Scotland Forever" is emblazoned prominently on the banner held aloft by the leading figure in the charge, a clear declaration of their commitment to their homeland. The image evokes a sense of heroism, courage, and determination, as the soldiers charge forward with their sabres raised, ready to defend their country against the forces of Napoleon. The photolithograph is an important historical document, associated with the Napoleanic Wars and the pivotal Battle of Waterloo. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a vivid and moving representation of a pivotal moment in history. This beautiful and evocative print is a must-have for anyone with an interest in military history, Scottish heritage, or the art of the late 19th century.
