Taken on October 29,1870, at precisely 11-3 clock in the afternoon, it showcases the soap factory in Le Bourget during its occupation by the franctireurs of the press and Friends of France. The intricately engraved image reflects the illustrative technique of the 19th century, exuding a retro charm that transports us back to this pivotal era.
