One of the two squares of the Old Guards at Waterloo! As French army routed and the generals fell back, the guards stood tall acting as a rear guard and drawing most of the enemy towards them! Napoleon took shelter in one of the squares initially before leaving for Frasnes!
I have used one of these images a thumbnail for my YouTube documentary on the Battle of Waterloo!
This scene is inspired by the painting by Jean Paul Laurens.
