"The Battle of Magenta: A Historic Triumph and Remembrance" In this captivating collection of lithographs, engravings, and chromolithos, we are transported back to the momentous Battle of Magenta. Led by the valiant French general and statesman Patrice de MacMahon, also known as the Duke of Magenta, this battle marked a turning point in history. As we commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of this legendary clash, one lithograph captures the solemn Mass held in front of the Ossuary. The atmosphere is reverent as people pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for victory. Another litho portrays the vibrant hues that symbolize this historic event - "The Battle of Magenta" itself depicted with vivid colors. An engraving reveals a significant moment during the war - Empress-Regent Eugenie receiving an Austrian flag captured at Magenta. This symbolic presentation showcases not only France's triumph but also its unity against adversity. However, another engraving unveils a darker side - "Attack on the Church of Magenta. " It serves as a reminder that even amidst glory and valor, destruction can befall sacred places. King Victor Emmanuel stands proudly on another chromolitho amidst the battlefield strewn with remnants from fierce combat. His presence signifies Italy's role in this conflict and its aspirations for unification alongside France's support. Engravings further immerse us into scenes from battle; "Battaglia Di Magenta" depicts soldiers locked in intense combat while "The Officer and his Dog" presents an emotional episode where loyalty transcends chaos. Marshal Canrobert takes center stage in an intriguing photograph from 1890; his stoic expression reflects both pride and weariness after leading troops through such arduous times. Lastly, a striking image from 1901 shows us how Milan changed over time - Porta Magenta Heads demolished as if erasing traces of a turbulent past.
