EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic Battle of Le Bourget during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. The image, captured by renowned artist Alphonse de Neuville, showcases a scene filled with action and intensity. The setting is outdoors, amidst a crowd gathered in the country near Paris. The steps leading up to a building exterior serve as a vantage point for military personnel overseeing the battle. In the distance, we can see cannons strategically placed, ready for combat. The monochrome composition adds depth and drama to this snapshot from the 19th century. It highlights both the architectural beauty of France and the somber reality of war. Shutters on nearby buildings suggest that residents are barricaded inside, seeking safety from impending danger. As we delve into this historical moment through Neuville's illustration published in The Illustrated Naval and Military Magazine Volume I (1884), we gain insight into an era defined by conflict and struggle. This print serves as a reminder of human resilience and sacrifice during times of war. With its rich detail and powerful imagery, this print transports us back to one of history's most significant battles - Le Bourget - forever etched in our collective memory as part of an era marked by turmoil but also bravery.
