"Remembering the Guerre de 1870: A Glimpse into a Turbulent Era" In the Battle of Froeschwiller-Woerth (1870), brave cuirassiers fought valiantly, leaving behind a somber tomb that stands as a testament to their sacrifice. Illustrated in 1896, this poignant scene reminds us of the cost of war. During the war of 1870-1871 against Prussia, Paris faced dire circumstances. The hungry inhabitants waited anxiously at butchers' houses for their turn amidst scenes reminiscent of butchery itself. Clement Auguste Andrieux's painting captures this desperation and hunger that plagued the city during those trying times. A portrait taken by Paul Emile Theodore Ducos showcases a military man adorned with an armor helmet at the Abbey of Septfontaines in Bourmont (Haute Marne). This image transports us back to circa 1870-1886 when soldiers stood strong in defense of their nation. The Ballon du siege de Paris passing over a Prussian camp on October 14, 1870, is depicted in an engraving by Albert Tissandier based on Gaston Tissandier's study on airship wrecks published in "Le tour du monde" in 1875. This aerial view provides insight into the innovative tactics employed during this conflict. More portraits captured by Paul Emile Theodore Ducos reveal various aspects of soldier life during these turbulent times. From reading letters to standing guard and wearing cockades proudly, these images offer glimpses into the lives and emotions experienced by conscripts and young soldiers alike. Lastly, two young soldiers are immortalized on the terrace of a café while donning their uniforms. Their youthful faces reflect both determination and uncertainty as they navigate through uncertain times. These photographs serve as reminders that behind every battle lies human stories filled with courage, sacrifice, and resilience.
