Anxious Times, a Sketch at Treport, France - A Glimpse into the Turmoil of Franco-Prussian War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1870 in Treport, France. The engraving by Hubert von Herkomer captures the essence of "Anxious Times" as depicted in his sketch for The Graphic. This historical artwork offers a window into the tumultuous period of the Franco-Prussian War. The scene portrays a sense of unease and apprehension that permeated throughout Europe during this time. As we observe this image, we are transported to an era when tensions ran high between nations and uncertainty loomed over people's lives. Treport, with its strategic location on the French coast facing England across the English Channel, became a significant site during this conflict. Its proximity to both land and sea made it vulnerable to attacks and heightened anxiety among its inhabitants. Through intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, Herkomer skillfully conveys emotions etched on faces - worry lines etched deep into furrowed brows; eyes filled with trepidation; bodies tense with anticipation. These visual cues evoke empathy within us as we witness firsthand how war affects ordinary lives. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history while also highlighting the resilience of humanity amidst adversity. It invites us to reflect upon past struggles and appreciate our present peace in Europe – united under one banner through institutions like the European Union. As we gaze
