EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Map of France from the year 1872, its creator remaining unknown. The map provides a detailed depiction of the country's departements or provinces, including the enchanting island of Corsica in an inset at the bottom right corner. This particular image is sourced from "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences". Volume I, authored by Captain H M Hozier and published by William Mackenzie in London during that same year. With vibrant colors highlighting its geographical features, this map takes us on a visual journey through France's coastal regions along both the English Channel and Mediterranean Sea. It offers insight into the nation's diverse landscapes as well as key locations such as the Bay of Biscay. Beyond being an exquisite piece for geography enthusiasts, this print holds historical significance due to its connection with the Franco-Prussian War that occurred between 1870 and 1871. Its inclusion in Captain Hozier's book suggests it played a role in documenting and understanding this pivotal conflict. Preserved by The Print Collector, this nineteenth-century artifact serves as a testament to Sir Henry Montagu Hozier’s dedication to cartography and his contribution to our understanding of French history during that era. Whether you are drawn to maps or fascinated by historical events like war or territorial boundaries, this remarkable image offers glimpses into both realms simultaneously.
