EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching captures a pivotal moment during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), specifically the Siege and Bombardment of Paris. Depicted from left to right are the key figures involved in the conflict: Prussian King William I, General Helmuth von Moltke, and Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. The siege, which lasted from September 1870 to January 1871, saw the Prussian army surrounding and bombarding the city of Paris, ultimately leading to the surrender of the French forces. The image, part of the Achille Bertarelli collection of prints housed in Milan's Civica Raccolta delle Stampe, offers a glimpse into the historical event. The scene is set outdoors, under daylight, with the trio standing in a horizontal arrangement against a backdrop of a clear, sunlit day. The engraving's intricate details bring the masculine figures to life, highlighting their importance during this significant period in European history.
