EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving, titled "The War, shooting Wounded Horses after a Battle" captures the haunting aftermath of a fierce confrontation during the Franco-Prussian War in the 19th century. The image showcases the grim reality faced by both soldiers and animals on the battlefield. In this poignant scene, we witness an English School artist's depiction of wounded horses being shot following a brutal battle. The intensity of emotions is palpable as these noble creatures, once strong and majestic, now lie helpless and suffering. Their pain serves as a stark reminder of the devastating toll that war takes on all living beings involved. Published in The Illustrated London News in October 1870, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by soldiers and their equine companions during times of conflict. It serves as both a historical record and an artistic expression of empathy for those affected by war. "The War, shooting Wounded Horses after a Battle" invites us to reflect upon the sacrifices made in times of warfare while highlighting our shared responsibility to protect innocent lives caught amidst human conflicts. This thought-provoking print from Bridgeman Images urges us to remember not only the bravery displayed by soldiers but also the silent heroes who endure unimaginable suffering - such as these wounded horses - often overlooked in narratives surrounding war.
