EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a moment during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, as French Gardes Mobiles, or territorial soldiers, go about their patrol duties between Forts Bicetre and Ivry, located near Paris. The Franco-Prussian War was a significant conflict in European history, pitting the Second French Empire against the Kingdom of Prussia and its allies. The war began in July 1870 and ended with a Prussian victory, leading to the abdication of Napoleon III and the establishment of the Third French Republic. The Gardes Mobiles were an essential part of the French military during this time, as they were the first line of defense for the capital city. These soldiers were called up for the war and were responsible for securing the outskirts of Paris and protecting the civilian population. In this image, we see them marching in formation, likely on the lookout for any signs of enemy activity. The fortifications of Forts Bicetre and Ivry can be seen in the background, providing a sense of the strategic importance of this area. The engraving, which dates from December 1870, is an important historical document that offers a glimpse into the defensive measures taken by the French during the Franco-Prussian War. It is a reminder of the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought to protect their homeland during a time of great upheaval and change. This image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical prints or military history, and its intricate detail and fine craftsmanship make it a beautiful addition to any home or office.
