EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. In this intense scene, we witness the dramatic encounter between Prussian troops and a balloon from Paris, France. The besieged balloon is seen descending near Dreux, as its occupants desperately try to escape their pursuers. The wood engraving, sourced from a contemporary English newspaper, beautifully captures the chaos and tension of war. The intricate details showcase the skill of the artist who painstakingly etched every line onto wood before printing it onto paper. Amidst the turmoil, our attention is drawn to a lone horseman galloping alongside the descending balloon. This equestrian figure represents courage and determination in face of adversity. As he rides through late autumn fields towards Dreux, his presence adds an element of hope amidst despair. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war - not only for soldiers on foot but also for those who took to unconventional means such as hot air balloons to defend their city. It encapsulates both sides' relentless pursuit during this historic conflict. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time; witnessing firsthand one small episode within a much larger narrative that shaped nations and lives forever.
