EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history, depicting a Prussian soldier tracing the borders of Alsace-Lorraine to the blue of Prussia. The image serves as a poignant reference to the annexation of this region during the War of 1870. Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The composition showcases intricate details and symbolism that convey both political and emotional undertones. The soldier's focused expression reveals determination, highlighting the significance attached to redrawing these borders. As he traces his finger along the map, we are reminded of the consequences faced by those living within these lines. Alsace-Lorraine holds historical importance as it was at the heart of territorial disputes between France and Germany during this period. This image encapsulates not only geopolitical tensions but also personal stories intertwined with national identity. The black-and-white aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this thought-provoking piece. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as war, nationalism, and loss while contemplating how boundaries can shape lives. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this historical artifact for future generations to appreciate its artistic value and understand its historical context fully.
