George Hooper's excellent 1889 book "Waterloo – the Downfall of the first Napoleon" had five beautifully drawn maps in the end of the book. In online scanned copies of the book, these have been omitted or badly done. I could not find any decent copies of the maps online. I have scanned them in so others may see the elegant plates on different aspects of the campaign. Go to my blog here – link for larger versions of the maps as well as three others.
They are scanned in at 300dpi so they print out quite well, the detail is very clear. There are some blemishes on the original plates, but I think they add to the look. Hopefully they are some use to people. Cheers Ironlegs

Thanks. Been a while since I've looked at these. We've used the top one for Hundred Days campaign games. DM |

Here are the other maps. Again, bigger maps on the blog if you want to print them.
Yes Hougomont is huge, at least the garden and orchard. Ironlegs
