EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in history - the Siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War. The print showcases Gustave Dore's detailed pen and brown ink wash drawing, titled "Album of the Siege of Paris, the Bastille, 26th, 27th, 28th February 1871". In this scene, we see a bustling square filled with activity. National defense guards stand proudly in their uniforms while soldiers man cannons nearby. An omnibus drawn by horses passes through the crowd as bayonets glimmer in the sunlight. A sea of people gathers to witness a demonstration or celebration, waving flags high above their heads. Dore's skillful sketching and study bring life to this historical moment. The intricate details capture not only the physical surroundings but also convey a sense of unity and resilience among those present. This image serves as a powerful reminder of France's struggle during this turbulent time. The significance of this artwork extends beyond its artistic value; it represents an important chapter in French history - one that shaped the nation's identity during the Third Republic era. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to that fateful period when Parisians fought for their freedom amidst chaos and uncertainty. This remarkable piece is housed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France - a fitting location for such an iconic representation of national pride and determination.
