EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment from the Napoleonic War, specifically the Traversee du Niemen (Neman, Nieman) in 1812. The image is taken from "Historical, military and naval anecdotes and incidents that arrived at the arms of Great Britain and their allies, ending in Waterloo" by Edward Orme. Illustrated by renowned artists Fry, Sutherland, Clark, Dubourg, W. Heart, JA Atkinson and others. The scene depicts an intense river crossing between French and Russian forces during the Russian campaign of 1812. The composition beautifully portrays the chaos and tension of war as soldiers navigate through treacherous waters with determination etched on their faces. The significance of this event cannot be understated as it marked a turning point in Napoleon's ill-fated invasion of Russia. It was here that his army faced numerous challenges including harsh weather conditions and fierce resistance from Russian troops. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to Leonard de Selva's photography skills. Through his lens, we are transported back to this crucial moment in history where two powerful nations clashed along the banks of the Niemen River. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by those involved but also of the devastating consequences that war can bring. It serves as a poignant reminder to learn from our past so that we may strive for peace in our future endeavors.
