Description |
English: A map of the Battle of Waterloo, fought on 18 June 1815 between the British and Prussian armies, commanded by Field Marshals Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852) and Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher (1742-1819) and the French, commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), resulting in an Allied victory. Napoleonic Wars (1803-15). Oriented with north to top.
The different positions of the armies are engraved on a separate piece of paper which is pasted to the base map, hinged on the left side to form a flap. This flap is referred to as the 'Shifting Plan' in the adjacent text, and, in French, this device was known as a 'Papillon'. The map is in a circular frame within a square, the corners of which are filled with a decorative device resembling an ormolu wreath to which is attached a ribbon tied in a bow. The area covered extends from Waterloo in the north, to Maison du Roy (50°39'04"N 04°24'51"E) in the south, and from Briane La Lued (Braine-l'Alleud 50°41'01"N 04°22'04"E) in the west to Fichermont (Château de Fichermont 50°40'42"N 04°26'38"E) in the east. |
