EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Crossing of the Rhine in 1813. Taken from Edward Orne's "Historical, Military and Naval Anecdotes" this image showcases the bravery and determination of soldiers during the Napoleonic War. The scene depicts a group of French soldiers wading through the mighty Rhine River, their uniforms drenched and weapons held high. The turbulent waters reflect their arduous journey, symbolizing both the physical obstacles they face and the immense challenges of war. The composition is masterfully executed by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century. Their attention to detail brings life to each soldier's expression, conveying a mix of exhaustion, resolve, and perhaps even fear. This evocative portrayal allows viewers to connect with these historical figures on a personal level. Preserved in a private collection, this rare photograph offers us a glimpse into an era defined by conflict and upheaval. Leonard de Selva's expert photography ensures that every intricate detail is captured faithfully while honoring its original artistic intent. As we observe this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, let us remember those who fought bravely for their nations' causes. May it serve as a reminder of our collective past and inspire us to strive for peace in our present day.
