Circa 1830 engraving, Battle of Waterloo.


Caption: "The Duke of Wellington now ordered the whole line to move forward -- nothing could be more beautiful. The Sun which had hitherto been veiled, at this instant shed upon us his departing rays, as if to smile upon the efforts we were making and bless them with success." Letter from a British Officer.
