This print captures a significant moment in history - the court martial of General Bazaine. Taken during the Franco-Prussian War, this image showcases the aftermath of his surrender to the Germans at Metz. General Bazaine, also known as Francois Achille Bazaine, was a prominent French military commander born on February 13th, 1811.

It is an engraving that beautifully depicts this historical event from the late nineteenth century. In this scene, we see several military officers gathered around General Bazaine as he faces trial for his actions during the war.

The atmosphere surrounding this court martial is palpable; it represents not only a pivotal moment for General Bazaine but also holds political significance within European history. This image provides us with a glimpse into both military and political spheres of influence during this time period. The composition of the photograph emphasizes each individual's role within this historic event while capturing their stoic expressions and serious demeanor.
