EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and bravery through a simple yet powerful image of a horse's hoof from 1815. The hoof belonged to 'Jubilee', the faithful steed ridden by Captain Arthur Shakespear during the Battle of Waterloo.
As ADC to Lord Combermere, Shakespear played a crucial role in the battle that changed the course of European history. This relic serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by both man and beast in times of conflict.
The intricate details captured in this photograph speak volumes about the strength and resilience of these majestic animals who stood alongside their human counterparts on the battlefield. The wear and tear on Jubilee's hoof tell a story of endurance, loyalty, and unwavering courage.
It is fascinating to imagine the sights and sounds witnessed by this noble creature as he galloped into battle with his rider, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. This print is not just a piece of art but also a tangible connection to an important moment in history that should never be forgotten.
In today's world where technology often overshadows traditional forms of communication, it is important to remember and honor our past through artifacts like this horse's hoof that offer us a glimpse into another time.
