EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a grim reality during the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. The image showcases a dog and cat meat butcher shop in Paris, where desperate times called for desperate measures. As the city endured a lengthy siege from September 1870 to late January 1871, food became scarce and starvation loomed over its inhabitants. In this bustling scene, people flock to the market with an air of desperation etched on their faces. The concept of survival takes center stage as shoppers navigate through the crowded streets, seeking sustenance amidst unimaginable hardship. Butchers behind their counters display an array of unconventional meats including cats and dogs – once beloved pets now reduced to mere commodities. The scarcity is palpable; even zoo animals from Jardin des Plantes were not spared from consumption. This engraving serves as a stark reminder of the lengths people would go to satiate their hunger during wartime. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to that tumultuous era when Parisians faced unimaginable challenges just to survive another day. It stands as a testament to human resilience amidst dire circumstances and offers us a glimpse into the harsh realities experienced by those who lived through one of history's darkest chapters - the Siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War.
