This building might well have witnessed the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Today it serves as a tavern and battlefield wax museum. I noticed the similarity between the arched wings of the huge bronze imperial Napoleonic eagle that stands before the building, and the pair of projecting tiled roofs overhead. Both roofs and wings point upwards at their apex and droop down at the base, and both seem to have scalloped edges. I moved my camera to place the eagle’s wings into rhythmic harmony with those roofs, making both building and bird seem as if they are about to simultaneously take flight. The drooping wings of the eagle point to the colorful red curtains in each window, which seem to energize the imperial bird. Waterloo and Napoleon are names forever linked in history. This building and the symbol standing before it make this association memorably tangible.
