EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the French Armoured Cavalrymen charging fearlessly into battle at Sedan on September 1st, 1870. The engraving, created by Georg Koch, showcases the intensity and bravery of these soldiers as they gallop through a dense forest in their distinctive uniforms. The image portrays the chaos and violence of war, with fallen soldiers and unhorsed cavalrymen scattered across the battlefield. Despite their valiant efforts, it is evident that defeat looms over them. The horses charge forward with determination while their riders wield swords and wear helmets as symbols of strength. Set against the backdrop of the Ardennes region, this scene encapsulates both beauty and tragedy. The forest trees stand tall witnesses to this historic clash between France and Prussia during the Franco-Prussian War. It serves as a reminder of the immense sacrifices made by these brave men who fought for their countries. Georg Koch's masterful engraving immortalizes this significant event in time when countless lives were lost. This poignant artwork not only pays homage to those who perished but also highlights the indomitable spirit of courage displayed by these French Armoured Cavalrymen amidst overwhelming odds.
