EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of history and valor in a painting depicting a crucial moment during the Franco-Prussian War at Chateau de Sedan, Ardennes, France. Painted by Gaston Claris in 1870, it showcases Captain de Tessiere of the 2nd Artillery Regiment alongside Captain Baudouin and gunner Favre as they bravely engage in battle.
The Chateau de Sedan itself is a magnificent sight to behold, dating back to its origins as a manor house in the 15th century before being fortified and expanded over subsequent centuries.
