Author: Mulready, William (artist) and George T. Doo(engraver)
Title: The Convalescent from Waterloo
Description: London: The Art Union, 1841-1847. Engraving. 53 x 69 cm. sheet size Wide margins with tears and stains in the margins and title. Piece detached upper margin. This painting takes its subject from the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo. Although it was reckoned a famous victory, there were huge casualties and many soldiers suffered long afterwards from the effects of their wounds and the primitive surgery of the time. Mulready’s picture had a mixed reception when it was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1822. It was unusual in that it showed the effects of war and not the heroics of battle, the theme of so many other paintings of that era. .
