'View of the Cottage of Valette', 1815

Aquatint by James Rouse, published by H Colburn, Conduit Street, London 1816.

Rouse's Waterloo prints were produced in conjunction with William Mudford's 'An Historical Account of the Campaign in the Netherlands (London, 1817). It is highly likely that these views of the Waterloo battlefield were drawn on the spot.

A scene after the Battle of Waterloo showing the 'Cottage of Valette', near the 'La Belle Alliance' inn. Civilians assist wounded soldiers. The fields on either side of the road are strewn with dead and wounded men and horses.
