EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Strasburg after the capitulation, September 1870" offers a glimpse into the aftermath of a significant historical event. The image depicts the city of Strasburg in ruins following its surrender during the Franco-Prussian War. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The scene showcases the devastating consequences of conflict and highlights the destructive power unleashed upon Strasburg. Buildings lay crumbled and charred, their once vibrant facades reduced to rubble. The desolation is palpable as smoke lingers in the air, serving as a somber reminder of lives lost and homes destroyed. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for Cassells History of the War between France and Germany (1870-1871), providing visual documentation of this pivotal moment in European history. Through digital restoration techniques, this image has been meticulously cleaned to preserve its integrity. As we gaze upon this poignant artwork, we are transported back to that tumultuous time when tensions ran high between France and Germany. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and our capacity for destruction—a stark reminder that war leaves no corner untouched. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection—an evocative portrayal capturing not only historical significance but also offering insight into our shared humanity across borders.
