11th Engravings Journal Petit Released Ting Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Group of European People Released by French Troops in Pao-Ting," was published in the renowned French newspaper "Le Petit Journal" on November 11th, 1900. The image, which is now housed in the National Library of France, is an engraving that captures a significant moment in history. The scene unfolds in an upright composition, with vibrant colors that bring the image to life. A group of European people, likely French citizens, are depicted in the center of the image, surrounded by French soldiers in uniform. The soldiers are in the process of releasing the civilians, their hands raised in a gesture of surrender or relief. The people in the group appear grateful and relieved, their faces expressing a range of emotions from joy to relief. The background of the illustration shows the chaotic scene of a battlefield or war-torn town, with smoke rising from buildings and the sound of gunfire echoing in the distance. The contrast between the peaceful release of the civilians and the backdrop of war creates a poignant and powerful image. This illustration provides a glimpse into a moment in time during the late 19th century, when European powers were exerting their influence and control over various parts of the world. The image serves as a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous history of European colonialism and the impact it had on people's lives. The National Library of France's acquisition and preservation of this engraving is a testament to its historical significance and value as a visual record of a pivotal moment in European history.
