'Headquarters of the Duke of Wellington, in the village of Waterloo', 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 row of houses with carriages on a cobbled street. British officers stand in the doorway of an inn with a sign reading 'Le Grand Quartier Du Duc De Wellington'. Men in civilian dress drinking at a table on the grass verge are approached by locals carrying souvenirs of the Battle of Waterloo, including a helmet and cuirass.

The former stagecoach inn in Waterloo, used by the Duke of Wellington on the eve and night of the Battle of Waterloo, now houses the Wellington Museum.
