EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving "Trying the enemy's range, October 1870" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Franco-Prussian War. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the intensity and tension of conflict. The image depicts soldiers from Germany testing their luck against their French adversaries' firing range. As they cautiously advance towards the enemy lines, one can feel the palpable anticipation and apprehension that hangs in the air. The composition skillfully captures both sides of this fierce battle, highlighting not only military strategy but also human resilience. This artwork was originally featured as an illustration for Cassell's History of the War between France and Germany (1870-1871). Its digital restoration has brought out its intricate details while preserving its historical significance. Through this piece, we are reminded of how war shapes nations and individuals alike. With Europe as its backdrop, this engraving symbolizes more than just a clash between two countries; it represents larger themes such as nationalism, cultural identity, and geopolitical power struggles. It serves as a reminder of how conflicts shape our world even today. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to that fateful October in 1870 when soldiers on both sides braved danger with unwavering determination.
