Unseen Waterloo: The Conflict Revisited

This series of photographs created by Sam Faulkner documents the recent participants in the annual re-enactment of the Battle of Waterloo. The 80 life-size portraits of soldiers which were taken in a pop-up studio situated on the battlefield, hang against a backdrop of Hainsworth fabric which was the rich cotton cloth used to dress the 'redcoat' soldiers in 1815. The exhibition opens on the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo and explores how we remember the fallen from a time before photography was invented.
