EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting scene from the war of 1870-1871 between France and Prussia. Titled "Episode of the war of 1870-1871 between France and Prussia: the bridge of Fontenoy on Moselle after the explosion and the village of Fontenoy on Moselle fire by the Germans" this engraving tells a powerful story. The image depicts a devastated landscape, with smoke billowing from the ruins of Fontenoy on Moselle. The once picturesque village now lies in ruins, consumed by flames set ablaze by German forces. In stark contrast, the broken remains of the bridge stand as a testament to destruction caused by warfare. Published in "Le Peute Parisien" on January 29th, 1899, this engraving serves as a historical record that transports us back to one of Europe's most tumultuous periods. It offers insight into not only military tactics but also human suffering during times of conflict. The artist behind this evocative piece remains anonymous, yet their skillful rendering brings to life both despair and resilience. This print is part of a private collection and reminds us how art can preserve significant moments in history for generations to come. As we observe this image today, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst devastation, there is hope for rebuilding and healing.
