Reception of the Prussians by the Geese of Molsheim - A Whimsical Encounter Amidst War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, captures a truly unique moment during the Franco-Prussian War. Titled "Reception of the Prussians by the Geese of Molsheim" this print showcases a delightful street scene that defies expectations. In this enchanting image, we witness a group of imposing Prussian soldiers marching through the streets of Molsheim. However, instead of encountering hostility or fear from their feathered counterparts, they are met with unexpected amusement and curiosity. The geese seem to have taken it upon themselves to welcome these foreign visitors in their own peculiar way. The artist skillfully portrays both humor and irony as we see these proud birds flapping their wings and honking at the bewildered soldiers. This whimsical encounter serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and tension, moments of lightheartedness can emerge unexpectedly. Originally published in The Graphic on September 17th, 1870, this illustration offers us a glimpse into historical events while infusing them with an element of playfulness. It reminds us that art has always had the power to capture not only significant moments but also those instances where humanity's resilience shines through even in times of war. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this remarkable engraving continues to bring joy and intrigue to
