EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century captures a poignant scene during the Franco-Prussian War in Paris. Titled "Garde Nationale Auxiliaire" it depicts a group of civilians, soldiers, and children gathered around a butcher's shop, their faces filled with hunger and desperation. The artist uses satire to highlight the scarcity of food during this tumultuous time. In the foreground, a young girl stands holding an empty basket while engaging in conversation with a woman who appears to be complaining about the lack of meat available. Behind them, men dressed in military uniforms discuss their own frustrations as they wait for their turn at the butchers. The artist's caricature style emphasizes the hardship faced by ordinary people during this siege. Through scathing satire, he critiques both French society and European politics of that era. This print is part of a private collection and was originally published in "Souvenirs du Siege de Paris". It offers us a glimpse into history and reminds us of the challenges faced by those living through times of conflict and scarcity. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece as part of its fine art collection, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its historical significance.
