EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of an armour-plated locomotive battery during the French siege of Paris in 1871. The Franco-Prussian War, which began in July 1870, ended with the defeat of the French army and the subsequent siege of Paris by the Prussian forces. During the siege, which lasted from September 1870 to January 1871, the Prussian army imposed a blockade on the city, cutting off supplies and communications. To counteract this, the French government and the National Guard made every effort to keep the city functioning, including the use of armour-plated locomotives to transport supplies and reinforcements. In this image, we see several of these heavily fortified engines, their metal plates and gun emplacements clearly visible, ready to face the potential threat of Prussian attack. The scene is one of determination and resilience in the face of adversity, as the people of Paris refused to surrender and instead held out for several months. The photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the French during the siege, as well as the devastating impact of the war on the city. The armour-plated locomotives were a crucial part of the French war effort, enabling them to keep supplies moving and maintain a semblance of normalcy amidst the chaos of war. This historical photograph offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in French and European history, and serves as a reminder of the courage and perseverance of those who lived through it.
