EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during the French Revolution, specifically the heroic courage displayed by Lieutenant Andre Desilles on August 31,1790. Known as "The Nancy Affairs" this event unfolded when the Marquis de Bouille launched a repression against rebellious soldiers of the garrison in Nancy who were defying their officers. In front of the guard post at the Stainville Gate, Lieutenant Desilles fearlessly intervened amidst intense battle. The young lieutenant's bravery shone through as he fought alongside his comrades, risking his own life to maintain order and uphold authority. Unfortunately, this act of heroism came at a cost. During his valiant intervention, Lieutenant Andre Desilles sustained severe injuries that forever changed his fate. This image serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and dedication exhibited by individuals like Desilles during times of revolution and turmoil. Preserved in this 19th-century photograph from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, it not only showcases an important historical moment but also immortalizes the spirit and resilience of those who fought for their beliefs during one of France's most transformative periods. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded to honor those who have shown unwavering courage in pursuit of justice and freedom throughout history.
