As mist clings to the morning fields and soldiers steel themselves for the coming storm, this postcard captures the breath before battle — the tense quiet at the dawn of 18 June 1815. General Wellington, mounted and resolute, surveys the terrain alongside British troops, cannon crews, and regimental musicians, in an image that summons the drama and gravitas of the Napoleonic Wars.

This vintage postcard features a reproduction of the painting “Wellington at Waterloo – The Dawn of Day”, presented by Musée d’armes A. Crauwels, Lion de Waterloo. Issued by Combier Imprimeur Mâcon and printed in France using the Cimchrome colour process, it bears multilingual captions marking the historic scene. Its style and quality suggest mid to late 20th-century production — ideal for collectors of Napoleonic memorabilia or printed military ephemera.

Collecting pieces like this is more than an act of interest — it is a gesture of remembrance. Each detail, each printed soldier, reminds us of the human cost and pivotal turns of history. This card belongs not only in an album, but in the hands of those who carry a deep respect for the stories preserved in ink and image.
