Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Title : Flight of Buonaparte from the Field of Waterloo accompanied by his Guide.

Drawn and etched by George Cruikshank (1792-1878), dated 1816. An illustration for An Historical Account of the Battle of Waterloo (...), 1817, by W.B. Craan & Captain A. Gore.

Excerpts (46-8, passim).

Napoleon, amidst the confusion and disorder which existed, followed by a part of his staff, succeeded in making an escape, and repassed the Sambre at Charleroi, on the 19th of June, at four o'clock in the morning.
Thus terminated the battle of Waterloo, ever memorable in the annals of the world. Peace to the manes of the brave !
And glory to the surviving heroes who maintained the sacred cause of freedom and of Europe.
