A Chamberlain cabinet plate with a view of Chateau d'Hougoumont, Waterloo, circa 1816
Footnotes
Provenance
The Prince Regent, later King George IV
Château d'Hougoumont (formerly Goumont) was the location of one of the most significant fights in the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815 and was one of the key positions in the British defensive line. This plate is part of a set of twelve plates decorated with views of the Waterloo which were part of an order placed by the Prince Regent invoiced on 31 October 1816. The original invoice exists in the Museum of Worcester Porcelain. Eight plates from this set are in the Royal Collection (inv. no. RCIN 10884). The views are taken from a set of twelve engravings produced in 1816 by R Reeve after drawings by Samuel Wharton.
