EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The War, Fall of Strasbourg, Entry of German Troops by the Porte Blanche" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Franco-Prussian War. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures a scene filled with street scenes and military presence. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to Strasbourg, France. The devastation caused by war is evident as German troops make their triumphant entry through the iconic Porte Blanche. The atmosphere is heavy with tension and despair as the city falls under foreign occupation. Every detail within this engraving tells a story of loss and upheaval. From shattered buildings to weary civilians observing from afar, it serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost that accompanies conflict. This artwork was originally published in The Illustrated London News on October 15th, 1870 - providing readers with a visual account of historical events unfolding across Europe. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we gain insight into Alsace's turbulent past and its impact on both French and European history. It prompts us to reflect on how war shapes nations and leaves lasting scars on communities.
