Break Guard Kepi National Defence Rampart Report Visiting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment during the Siege of Paris, showcasing the resilience and dedication of the National Guards at the Ramparts. Created by Gustave Dore, this print titled "Album of the Siege of Paris, National Guards at the Ramparts during the day" showcases a scene filled with emotion and depth. In this image, we see soldiers in uniform standing proudly on the ramparts. Their kepis sit firmly atop their heads as they take a well-deserved break from their duties. Surrounding them is an unexpected sight - families visiting their loved ones in this time of turmoil. A child clings to his father's leg while a mother cradles her baby close. Amidst all this chaos, there is still room for moments of normalcy. Some guards can be seen enjoying food together, sharing stories and laughter amidst their military camp. The presence of rifles and guns reminds us that despite these tender moments, they are always ready to defend their nation. Dore's meticulous pen work combined with brown ink washes and pencil strokes bring life to every detail captured in this drawing. It serves as both a reportage sketch and study into human emotions during times of war. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in France, this historical artwork stands as a testament to bravery and unity in times of adversity.
