Publisher's Synopsis

Depicting the famous meeting of Wellington and Blucher directly after their joint victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, Daniel Maclise's monumental drawing, which took over a year to create and stands at 3 metres high and 13 metres in length, caused a sensation when it was first shown at the House of Lords in 1859. In this concise but comprehensive volume, the authors looks in detail at the story of its creation and the reasons it has been hidden for so long.
