"The Waterloo Banquet At Apsley House June 18, 1836, After William Salter" by William Greatbach is an intricate engraving that captures a significant historical event commemorating the Battle of Waterloo. The original painting by William Salter, which this engraving reproduces, depicts the annual banquet hosted by Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, at his London residence, Apsley House. This event, held on June 18, 1836, marked the 21st anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, a decisive conflict that ended the Napoleonic Wars and established Wellington as a national hero.

William Greatbach, a renowned engraver of the 19th century, meticulously translated Salter's painting into an engraving, ensuring that the grandeur and detail of the original work were preserved. The engraving showcases the opulent setting of Apsley House, with its lavish decorations and the distinguished guests who attended the banquet. Among the attendees were prominent military figures and statesmen who had played crucial roles in the battle and the subsequent shaping of European history.

The composition of the engraving emphasizes the camaraderie and solemnity of the occasion. The Duke of Wellington is prominently featured, surrounded by his fellow officers and dignitaries, all of whom are engaged in animated conversation and reflection. The attention to detail in the depiction of the uniforms, medals, and expressions of the attendees adds a layer of authenticity and historical accuracy to the work.

Greatbach's engraving serves not only as a visual record of a significant historical event but also as a testament to the artistic collaboration between painter and engraver. It reflects the 19th-century fascination with historical events and the desire to commemorate and celebrate national achievements through art. The engraving remains an important piece in the study of historical art and the representation of military history in visual culture.
