This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history - the surrender negotiations between French and German commanders at Donchery, France, on the night of 1-2 September 1870. The image depicts a scene filled with tension and humiliation as defeated French soldiers engage in conversation with their triumphant German counterparts. In the background, a portrait of Emperor Napoleon I watches over the proceedings from the wall, serving as a haunting reminder of France's fall from grace. This powerful symbol adds an extra layer of poignancy to the scene, emphasizing the magnitude of defeat for the French forces. The illustration comes from "Bildersaal Deutscher Geschichte" published in 1890 by Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft.

Overall, this print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of surrender negotiations that forever altered European politics.
