Facsimile of 1817 edn., 368pp.text, col¬our portrait of officers frontis., colour title, 2 colour maps (reduced from the originals which would have been impossible to reproduce), colour battle scene (also reduced from the original), 25 colour plates, 4to, quality hardback edition. 2016 reissue. Mudford’s account of Waterloo is one of the most famous and most sought-after. One of the great features of this account are the series of plates, which follow in sequence (the background of one being the foreground of the next) the journey to the battlefield. The field of battle itself is faithfully recorded immediately after the event, with the correct positioning of bodies and the actual damage to the buildings.
