EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration captures the chaos and destruction wrought by the First Shell to land in Paris during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. The scene depicts a bustling street scene, now reduced to rubble and despair, as men and women huddle at the barricades. In the foreground, two women plead for help, one cradling her baby in a crib, shielding it from the impending danger. Glass shatters from window panes, adding to the sense of urgency and devastation. The decimated houses and broken buildings serve as a stark reminder of the brutal impact of war on civilians. This historical image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, was published in 1871 under the caption 'The First Shell to land in Paris.' The Franco-Prussian War, which lasted from July 1870 to May 1871, was a significant turning point in European history, leading to the unification of Germany and the establishment of the Third French Republic. This poignant illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict.
