EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a piece of history frozen in time. The image showcases a print titled "Badinguet on the beginning of 1873" referring to the nickname given by Napoleon III's opponents to Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (1808-1873). The backdrop is an apartment wall at 31, rue de l'horloge in Sedan, adorned with graffiti from 1873. The drawings etched onto the wall serve as poignant reminders of the Franco-Prussian War that took place in 1870. This devastating conflict resulted in the defeat of French troops and marked the downfall of Napoleon III's second empire, which had been established through a coup d'état in 1851. Photographer Leonard de Selva expertly captured this historical artifact during his visit to France in 2008. His lens immortalizes not only the intricate details of these century-old markings but also their significance within French history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a tumultuous era when political tensions ran high and nations were divided. It serves as a visual testament to both human resilience and our ability to learn from past mistakes. Leonard de Selva's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind these graffiti but also their profound historical context. Through this image, we are reminded that even amidst destruction and turmoil, fragments of history can be preserved for generations to come.
