EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Prussian Soldiers Capturing Napoleon's Coach after the Battle of Waterloo," is a captivating depiction of a pivotal moment in European history. The image, published in Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts in London in 1816, portrays a group of triumphant Prussian soldiers surrounding Napoleon's golden coach, having shot both the driver and coachman. The Major, identified as von Keller, stands proudly at the front, claiming the coach as booty. The background of the scene reveals a picturesque park landscape, with a grand lodge entrance, a stately home in the distance, and a garden with a poultry shed and gate. The architectural details of the lodge, including its arched entrance, columned façade, and intricate floorplan, are meticulously rendered, showcasing the Regency-era fascination with aristocratic and landed gentry estates. The engraving's intricate detail and vibrant handcolouring offer a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the time, while the military victory serves as a reminder of the political and social upheavals that shaped Europe during the early 19th century. The image is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the period, and a valuable addition to any collection focusing on European history, military history, or Regency-era art and architecture.
