The image exudes a sense of early morning calmness mixed with tension and anticipation for what lies ahead. Surrounding him are troops and cavalrymen, forming an imposing presence that reflects the power and might of the French Empire under his command. The text accompanying this print provides valuable context to fully appreciate its historical significance. It mentions key details such as the date (June 18th, 1815) and emphasizes how this battle marked a turning point in European history. The mention of "retreat" hints at both defeat and resilience - reminding us that even great leaders face setbacks but can still leave lasting legacies.
