EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the dramatic moment of the blowing up of the Elster Bridge during the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. The image showcases a pivotal event in history, depicting the destruction and chaos that ensued during this significant battle. The scene is filled with intense action as soldiers from both sides engage in fierce combat along the riverbank. The French army can be seen retreating while German troops advance, highlighting their determination to reclaim their land from Napoleon's forces. The bridge itself becomes a focal point as it is engulfed in flames and crumbling under the weight of explosives. This catastrophic mistake leads to soldiers drowning in the river below, adding an element of tragedy to an already brutal conflict.
