EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Map of the Battle of Belfort, 15 January 1871" created by R. Walker in approximately 1872. The map, drawn under the supervision of Captain Hozier, provides a detailed depiction of enemy positions during this significant event in history. The Battle of Belfort took place during the Franco-Prussian War, where Prussian forces launched an assault on the French garrison located in Belfort from November 1870 to February 1871. This strategic blockade led to intense warfare between two powerful adversaries. The print transports us back to the nineteenth century, offering a glimpse into the complex world of military tactics and territorial disputes. It highlights how water transport played a crucial role in this battle as canals are prominently featured on the map. With its intricate details and precise markings, this historical document serves as a valuable resource for understanding one chapter within a larger conflict that shaped European history. Its inclusion in Captain H. M. Hozier's book "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences" further solidifies its significance. As we observe this remarkable piece of artistry by Robert Walker and appreciate William Mackenzie's publishing efforts in London during that era, we gain insight into not only the physical landscape but also into the minds behind military strategies employed during times of war.
