After Weissenburg! or, The Harvest of the Rhine
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and satirical colour lithograph by Matthew "Matt". Somerville. Created in the 19th century, this humorous caricature captures the essence of a battle scene during the Franco-Prussian War. The image depicts a chaotic battlefield at sunset, with retreating French soldiers and victorious German troops. Amidst the chaos, wounded soldiers are being tended to by nurses and medical personnel. The cartoon-like style adds an element of satire to the scene, highlighting both the absurdity and tragedy of war. Somerville's illustration originally appeared in The Tomahawk magazine on August 13,1870. It offers a political commentary on British perspectives towards Germany during that time period. Through clever visual storytelling, it portrays Germany as triumphant while poking fun at various aspects of European politics. This print showcases Somerville's skillful use of caricature and his ability to capture complex historical events with humor and wit. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and adversity, art can provide insight into societal attitudes and serve as a form of social commentary. Today, this artwork remains part of a private collection but continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
