Map and View of the Battle of Waterloo

Samuel John Neele (mentioned on object), 1815-08-13

This map was published two months after the victory over Napoleon. Different colours have been used to denote the opposing sides. The map’s orderly representation of the battlefield is misleading, for the bloody engagement was fought on a muddy terrain just eight square kilometres in size. After the battle large numbers of prints and maps were published to keep alive the memory of Waterloo.
