EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The War, Defence of Paris, Students going to man the Fortifications" transports us back to a significant moment in history - the Franco-Prussian War. Created by Frederick Barnard in 1870, this print captures a scene filled with determination and patriotism. In the foreground of the image, we see a group of young students marching purposefully through the streets of Paris. They are dressed in their everyday attire but carry an air of seriousness as they head towards the fortifications. These brave individuals have answered their country's call for defense during this tumultuous time. The backdrop reveals glimpses of fortified walls and ramparts that surround Paris. The city is preparing itself for battle against its Prussian adversaries. This visual juxtaposition between the youthful students and the imposing fortifications symbolizes both hope and resilience amidst adversity. "The War, Defence of Paris" not only showcases historical events but also highlights themes such as unity, sacrifice, and national pride. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, ordinary citizens can rise up to protect their homeland. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from Barnard's hand, we cannot help but be moved by these courageous students who willingly put themselves on the front lines for their beloved city. Their actions embody bravery and selflessness - qualities that continue to inspire generations today.
