EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scenes in France" takes us back to the year 1870, during the tumultuous period of the Franco-Prussian War. The engraving, created by Hubert von Herkomer and featured in The Graphic magazine, offers a glimpse into the streets of France during this historic time. The image showcases various scenes that depict both everyday life and the impact of war on French society. From bustling tours to quiet street corners, each frame tells a unique story. Amidst these picturesque settings, one can spot Prussian spies discreetly observing their surroundings, highlighting the tension and espionage prevalent during this conflict. Uniformed soldiers march through St Quimper as Count Keratrys leads his Breton army with determination and courage. Their presence serves as a reminder of the bravery exhibited by French troops throughout history. Through this artwork, we are transported to a different era where Europe was divided yet interconnected. It reminds us of France's rich culture and its place within not only European history but also within modern-day institutions like the European Union. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it serve as an invitation to explore further into French heritage - from its overseas territories to its enduring influence on art and culture worldwide.
