The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday, 18 June 1815, near Waterloo in present-day Belgium, then part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. A French army under the command of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by two of the armies of the Seventh Coalition: a British-led Allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington, and a Prussian army under the command of Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, Prince of Wahlstatt. The battle marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

Thomas Sutherland (1785 - 1838) was a prominent British engraver, who lived and worked in London. He specialised on military and naval subjects, as well as scenery, sporting and coaching. His best known works are illustrations for "The Microcosm of London" by Rudolf Ackermann, completed in 1810. He has also produced a series of prints based on Napoleonic Wars.
