This engraving captures the innovative use of microphotography during the siege of Paris in 1871. Created by Dagron, this technology allowed defenders to project and enlarge microscopic reports, enabling them to send crucial messages to provincial armies via traveler pigeons. The image showcases the intersection of science and warfare, as soldiers utilized cutting-edge techniques to communicate and strategize during a time of conflict.
The intricate details in the engraving bring to life this historical moment, highlighting the resourcefulness and ingenuity of those involved in defending Paris. The binocular microscope featured in the print symbolizes the precision and attention to detail required in military operations.
Published in both the Magasin Picturesque of 1871 and Gaston Tissandier's book on photography in 1882, this engraving serves as a visual record of a pivotal period in French history.
