EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Vionville-Mars-la-Tour, also known as the Battle of Rezonville, which took place on August 16, 1870. The scene depicts the courageous charge of the French cuirassiers against the advancing Prussian lines, a pivotal moment in the Franco-Prussian War. The Battle of Vionville was one of the most significant engagements of the Franco-Prussian War, which lasted from July 19, 1870, to January 10, 1871. The war began when the Prussian army, led by King William I, invaded France in response to the French Second Empire's refusal to pay the large reparations demanded by Prussia following the Franco-Austrian War. The Battle of Vionville took place near the towns of Vionville and Mars-la-Tour in Lorraine, France. The French army, commanded by General Bourbaki, was attempting to halt the Prussian advance towards Metz when they were confronted by the Prussian First Army, led by General von Moltke. The French cavalry, including the cuirassiers, were ordered to charge the Prussian lines in an attempt to break through and turn the tide of the battle. The charge of the cuirassiers was a brave but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to disrupt the Prussian advance. The Prussian lines held firm, and the French cavalry suffered heavy losses. The Battle of Vionville ended in a Prussian victory, and the French army was forced to retreat. This print provides a vivid and dramatic depiction of the Battle of Vionville, with the horses and riders of the cuirassiers charging forward, swords raised, into the face of the Prussian lines. The smoke and dust of battle fill the air, and the expression of determination on the faces of the riders is palpable. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in this historic battle.
