'Part of the village of Mont St Jean', 1815
Aquatint by and after James Rouse, published by H Colburn, 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.
Mont-Saint-Jean is a hamlet on a road junction south of the Waterloo battlefield. Mont-Saint-Jean Farm was the site of a large field hospital during and after the Battle of Waterloo on the 18 June 1815. This print shows an artillery park with a veteran with a crutch looking on.
