EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Destruction of Retreating Russians at Satschan Lake, 1805" captures a haunting moment in history. It depicts the aftermath of the Battle of Austerlitz, where Russian forces, defeated by the French under Napoleon Bonaparte's command, found themselves retreating near Satschan Lake. In this gripping image, we witness the tragic consequences that befell these retreating soldiers. As they attempted to cross the frozen ponds on their retreat, disaster struck when the ice beneath them broke. The chilling waters claimed many lives as men drowned amidst chaos and desperation. This typogravure print is based on an aquarelle painting by F De Myrbach and was featured in William Milligan Sloane's "Life of Napoleon Bonaparte". The artist skillfully conveys both the devastation and vulnerability experienced by these soldiers through his use of color and detail. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors endured during war. It showcases not only the power dynamics between nations but also highlights how nature can become an unexpected enemy in times of conflict. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember those who lost their lives in pursuit of victory or survival. May it serve as a testament to humanity's resilience while urging us to strive for peace instead of destruction.
