EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the intense siege and bombardment of Strasbourg during the Franco-Prussian War in August-September 1870. The print, published by Pellerin & Cie in the late 19th century, showcases the historical significance of this devastating event. The image depicts a scene filled with anguish and chaos as buildings crumble under heavy bombardment. Streets are crowded with frightened civilians desperately seeking shelter from explosions that echo through the city. Firemen and firefighters bravely battle flames engulfing damaged structures while emergency services rush to aid those injured or trapped amidst the destruction. In the foreground, a towering cathedral stands defiantly against the backdrop of smoke-filled skies, bearing witness to both human suffering and resilience. The wounded can be seen scattered throughout, their injuries serving as haunting reminders of the horrors endured during this brutal conflict. This print serves as a poignant reminder of not only France's turbulent history but also highlights the destructive nature of warfare itself. It evokes feelings of fear, panic, and anxiety experienced by both soldiers and civilians alike during times of war. Through its detailed portrayal of besieged Strasbourg, this artwork invites viewers to reflect on our shared past while urging us to strive for peace in our present and future.
