18 June 1815 – Victory at Waterloo – To the Prussian Army, ca. 1830

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This woodcut from Guide du voyageur en Belgique (1845) renders the monument and the setting for which it was conceived.

The memorial is depicted from the South, as it was ca. 1830. That date is bracketed by two events :
- the Lion's Mound, in the distance ►(File:18_June_1815_–_Victory_at_Waterloo,_memorial.jpg), was completed end of October 1826, but is added here as an artist's view : the distance and the undulations of the fields wouldn't allow to see it ;
- the Prussian Memorial was surrounded by a protecting fence after French soldiers vandalized it mid-November 1832 ►(File:18_June_1815_–_Victory_at_Waterloo_–_To_the_Prussian_Army,_Protective_fence.jpg).

Since mid-20th c., a thick curtain of trees masks the memorial and limits its access : ►(File:18_June_1815_–_Victory_at_Waterloo_–_To_the_Prussian_Army,_Overall_view.jpg).
