EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a poignant moment in history during the Franco-Prussian War of 1871. The image depicts French soldiers from General Bourbaki's Armee de l'Est being received in Switzerland after crossing the border to escape the advancing Prussian forces.
The expressions on the faces of these weary soldiers tell a story of hardship, determination, and resilience in the face of adversity. Their uniforms are tattered, their spirits undoubtedly shaken by the horrors of war. Yet, there is a glimmer of hope in their eyes as they seek refuge in neutral Switzerland.
The scene is brought to life through intricate details and expert craftsmanship by artist Auguste Bachelin. Each soldier's posture and expression convey a sense of camaraderie and solidarity among comrades who have endured unimaginable trials together.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their country and sought sanctuary in foreign lands. It serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of compassion and empathy towards those fleeing conflict.
This engraving is not just a work of art; it is a window into a tumultuous period in European history that forever changed the lives of countless individuals caught up in its turmoil.
