The Battle of Quatre Bras took place on the 16th of June 1815.
The battle was a prelude to the Battle of Waterloo that took
place on the 18th. Victory at Quatre Bras went to Wellington
and his forces, however the battle meant that the allied forces
were held up and unable to reinforce the Prussian forces at the
Battle of Ligny, causing Napoleons forces to gain a victory; the
last in Napoleons military career, however.
From the original book plates published in 1909.
