EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment in the Siege of Strasbourg during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. The map, drawn under the supervision of Captain Hozier and created by R. Walker, depicts the city of Strasbourg in France as it endured bombardment from Prussian general August von Werder. The image showcases the strategic location of Strasbourg on the banks of the Rhine River, with its imposing fortress standing tall against an enemy force. The intricate lines and markings on the map reveal key geographical features such as rivers and buildings, providing valuable insight into the battlefield terrain. In September 1870, after enduring relentless attacks, French forces ultimately surrendered their stronghold to Prussia. This significant event marked a turning point in the war and had far-reaching consequences for both nations involved. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are reminded not only of the fierce warfare that took place but also of how conflicts shape our understanding of geography and history. It serves as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and offers us a glimpse into one chapter of Europe's tumultuous past. This image is part of "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents, and consequences". Volume II by Captain H. M. Hozier – a valuable resource for those seeking to explore this pivotal period in 19th-century military history.
