EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a harrowing scene from the Franco-Prussian War in Paris during the winter of 1870-71. The illustration shows the desperate measures taken by the besieged Parisians and French army as they killed an elephant in the Jardin des Plantes for food. This act of desperation was just one example of how zoo animals and domestic creatures were sacrificed to sustain the starving population during the four-month siege.
The Siege of Paris came to a grim conclusion on January 28th, 1871, when French forces capitulated to the Prussians. The image serves as a stark reminder of the extreme circumstances faced by those caught up in war, where survival often meant resorting to unthinkable actions.
As we look back on this dark chapter in history, it is important to remember the sacrifices made by both humans and animals alike. This print not only documents a specific moment during a tumultuous time but also serves as a poignant symbol of resilience and survival amidst unimaginable hardship.
