Coloured aquatint by J Redaway after William Heath, published by J Jenkins, 1819.

The print shows an officer of the Life Guards in the foreground with men of the regiment engaging lancers in the background.

Both the 1st and 2nd Life Guards were part of Lord Somerset's Household Brigade during the Waterloo campaign in 1815 and took part in the famous charge of the British Heavy Cavalry against Marshal D'Erlon's infantry corps before being subjected to a severe mauling by French lancers and cuirassiers.
