About George Jones

  • Biography

    George Jones is an artist invariably connected with the Battle of Waterloo. Jones himself was a Captain in the Royal Montgomery Regiment of Militia and whilst he did not fight at Waterloo, he was part of the army of occupation that subsequently occupied Paris. This gave Jones ample opportunity to travel to the battlefield where he made numerous sketches of its topography and landscape. A number of these sketches were published in a book of engravings entitled 'The Battle of Waterloo [...] by a Near Observer', (London, 1817).
