There are numerous 19th century paintings illustrating this attitude. Here's one of the Battle of Jena.

That is not wiki size. It is max possible width, and over 500 pixels tall, which is unnecessarily enormous.

What detail is lost that helps with illustrating the trope?

I can see the details clearly enough in the smaller version, actually, but I guess either works.

That's enough for consensus, so it's up and tagged. Caption?

All the best quotes I know are related to War Is Hell, but let's see...

Ah.

"We are the scales of justice, conductor of the choir of death! Ride, brothers!"
