This 19th-century engraving, titled "Franco-Prussian War: On the market of St. Germain" offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by the people of France during this tumultuous period in history. The scene unfolds at a bustling marketplace, where an unusual sight catches the eye - a dogs and cats butcher. In this unique establishment, fresh rats are being sold for just 1 Frank each. The image serves as a stark reminder of the desperate measures taken by individuals to survive amidst war and scarcity. As France grappled with the devastating consequences of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, it is evident that even unconventional food sources became fair game. The illustrative technique employed in this engraved image transports us back to Victorian times, capturing both historical accuracy and artistic finesse.
