EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Stampede of French Cavalry at the Fight near Orleans, on Sunday, 4 December" takes us back to a momentous event during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. The image showcases the chaos and intensity of battle as a stampede of French cavalry charges through the battlefield. The horses gallop with wild abandon, their powerful hooves kicking up dust and debris. The scene is filled with dramatic energy as soldiers desperately try to control their mounts amidst the frenzy. It's a snapshot frozen in time that captures both the bravery and vulnerability of these courageous warriors. The fight near Orleans was a crucial engagement during this war between France and Prussia. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on 31st December 1870, providing readers with an eyewitness account of this significant event. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to that fateful day when France fought for its survival against foreign invaders. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who came before us and offers insight into an era defined by conflict and turmoil. Through this print, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to preserve history for future generations.
