EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The War, Prussian Guard at Versailles bringing in Cattle" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist during the 19th century, this print captures the essence of the Franco-Prussian War. Intriguingly framed within a street scene, we witness members of the Prussian Guard leading a procession of cattle through the grandeur of Versailles. The image exudes both strength and vulnerability as soldiers navigate their way through war-torn Europe with these precious livestock. The presence of cattle symbolizes more than just sustenance; it represents power dynamics and control over resources during times of conflict. As France grappled with its fate amidst war, this visual narrative highlights not only military might but also economic implications. "The War" engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on October 29th, 1870. Its publication aimed to inform readers about ongoing events while evoking empathy for those affected by war's consequences. Through this historical snapshot captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported to an era where nations clashed and livelihoods were disrupted. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that even amid chaos and destruction, life continues - symbolized here by livestock being herded through one of France's most iconic locations: Versailles.
