'A front view of the farm of La Haye Sainte', 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 view of the battle-scarred farmhouse of La Haye Sainte. The farm was a strongpoint in the Allied line during the Battle of Waterloo and was the site of bitter fighting throughout the 18 June 1815. In the foreground the dead from the battle are buried in a mass grave.
