EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "Franco-Prussian War: View of the plane at Le Bourget on 23 December 1870" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. The scene unfolds from left to right, revealing various elements that paint a vivid picture of this tumultuous period. At the forefront stands Dugny and Pont Iblon, two locations that witnessed the unfolding events. Behind them, German troops are seen marching with determination, their presence a reminder of the conflict's intensity. Le Bourget emerges as a focal point, bustling with activity as it serves as a strategic base during the war. The print also captures other crucial aspects of this era. A train bound for Goiffons symbolizes mobility and logistics in times of war. Blanc Mesnil appears on the horizon, reminding us of its significance within this historical context. The road leading to Flanders hints at broader implications beyond France's borders. The artist skillfully employs illustrative techniques characteristic of Victorian-era engravings, infusing depth and texture into each element depicted. This retro-styled image exudes vintage charm while preserving an authentic representation of historic art. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection's archives - not intended for commercial use - we are transported back to an era defined by conflict and change. It serves as both a visual testament to our past and an invitation to explore further into the intricate tapestry woven by history itself.
