EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration captures a pivotal moment in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, as the Provisional Government of National Defence reviews the National Guard within the besieged city of Paris. Following the French defeat at Sedan on September 1, 1870, General Trochu, Leon Gambetta, and Jules Favre established the Provisional Government to lead the resistance against the invading Prussian forces. With Paris under siege and the French military in disarray, the National Guard became a crucial element in the defense of the city. In this image, the Provisional Government, shown here with their backs to the viewer, are seen inspecting the National Guard troops with a sense of determination and resolve. The scene is set against the backdrop of the city's iconic landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame Cathedral, which serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that is under threat. The illustration was sent to the Illustrated London News by balloon post from within Paris, providing a unique glimpse into the heart of the conflict. The use of balloon post was an important means of communication during the siege, allowing news and information to be exchanged between the besieged city and the outside world. This historical illustration offers a fascinating insight into a critical period in French history, as the Provisional Government and the National Guard fought to defend their city and their nation against the invading Prussian forces. The determination and resilience of the French people during this time would go on to shape the course of the war and the future of France.
