EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures a significant moment during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Surrounded by the Prussian army, French emperor Napoleon III surrendered on September 2nd in Donchery, a neighboring town to Chateau de Sedan. In this poignant image, we see Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck dictating the terms of surrender to Napoleon III at a weaver's cottage. The atmosphere is somber and despondent as both leaders confront the reality of defeat. The expressions on their faces reveal the weight of their respective roles in this pivotal event. Napoleon III, once an influential figure in Europe, now stands defeated before his adversary. The photograph offers a glimpse into history and serves as a reminder of the consequences that war can bring upon nations and individuals alike. It symbolizes not only the end of an era but also marks a turning point for France and Germany's relationship. Preserved through time, this image was featured in "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History), No. 12 cigarette card album published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld, Hamburg, Germany in 1936. As viewers gaze upon this photograph today, they are transported back to that fateful day when two powerful figures met amidst turmoil and uncertainty - forever etching their encounter into history books worldwide.
