EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "French Troops in the Environs of Beyrout" offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases French troops stationed near Beyrout (now known as Beirut) during a crucial period. The image transports us to Lebanon's picturesque landscape, where military forces are strategically positioned amidst rolling hills and lush vegetation. The soldiers stand tall and resolute, their uniforms proudly displaying the colors of France. Their presence signifies the country's influence and involvement in this region at that time. As we delve deeper into the details of this engraving, we can appreciate its historical context. It was originally published as an illustration for the Illustrated Times on September 29th, 1860 – a publication renowned for its informative content and visually stunning imagery. Through this artwork, we gain insight into both topography and military strategy while also glimpsing elements of French culture abroad. This print serves as a testament to France's overseas departments and territories' reach during this era. Preserved within a private collection today, it is thanks to Bridgeman Images that we have access to such remarkable pieces of art from our past. As viewers, let us immerse ourselves in this evocative scene and reflect upon the intricate interplay between history, culture, and artistic expression captured within these frames.
