EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Military service: the draw of lots in Burgundy, conscripts near Macon" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by Stefano Bianchetti, this engraving by Montbart showcases an important aspect of French military life during the late 19th century. The scene depicts a street filled with eager young men, anxiously awaiting their fate as they participate in the draw of lots for military service. The atmosphere is tense yet charged with anticipation as these conscripts gather near Macon in Burgundy. Each individual's face tells a unique story - some display hope while others reveal apprehension. This image offers a glimpse into the compulsory conscription system that was prevalent at that time in France. It serves as a reminder of how young lives were shaped and altered through military duty. The parade-like setting adds to the gravity of the occasion, emphasizing both unity and sacrifice. Engraved by Montbart and featured in "The Illustrous World" publication on February 18th, 1882, this piece holds historical significance beyond its artistic value. Preserved within private collections today, it stands as a testament to an era when military service played an integral role in shaping nations. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful capture transports us back to this pivotal moment where chance determined destinies and individuals embarked on journeys that would forever shape their lives.
