EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. The image showcases the French prisoner of war camp at Wahn, near Cologne, Germany in 1870. The wood engraving, originally published in The Graphic (London) on October 22nd, 1870, provides a glimpse into the conditions faced by prisoners during this tumultuous time. The correspondent's observations shed light on the improvements made for prisoners since the Battle of Waterloo forty years prior. These advancements can be attributed partly to the Geneva Convention of 1864, which aimed to protect and provide better treatment for those captured during armed conflicts. In this scene from Wahn camp, we witness an atmosphere that is both somber and hopeful. Despite being held captive, there is evidence of progress as compared to previous wars. This wood engraving serves as a testament to humanity's evolving understanding and compassion towards prisoners of war. As we delve into this historical snapshot through artistry and storytelling, it becomes apparent that even amidst conflict and strife, efforts were made to uphold basic human rights. It reminds us how crucial it is to learn from our past experiences and strive for peace in future endeavors.
