EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a moment in history during the Franco-Prussian War, showcasing a Pontoon Bridge across the Seine near St Germains. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the resilience and ingenuity of mankind amidst conflict. The bridge itself is a remarkable feat of engineering, connecting two sides of the river with its sturdy wooden structure. Its purpose was to facilitate movement and transportation for troops and supplies during this tumultuous time. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost imagine soldiers marching across its planks or horse-drawn carriages rumbling along its path. The scene exudes an air of tranquility despite the underlying tension that war inevitably brings. The calm waters of the Seine flow beneath it while nearby trees stand tall as silent witnesses to history unfolding before them. This engraving not only showcases architectural brilliance but also serves as a testament to human adaptability and resourcefulness. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic on October 22nd, 1870. It now resides within Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historical artifacts. As we reflect on this image today, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also remember those who lived through such challenging times - their stories forever etched into our collective memory through works like these.
