Halifax in Watercolour: The Paintings of Alexander Cavalié Mercer, 1838-1842 by Glenn Devanney All artists or copyright holdersBritish Artillery officer Alexander Cavali Mercer is most famous in history circles for his detailed account of his experiences leading up to and including the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

While posted in Halifax, Mercer painted nearly 80 watercolours of the area between 1838 and 1842. Halifax in
