This engraving captures the powerful and majestic sight of the Spahis passing through Paris in 1870. The Spahi were a renowned light cavalry regiment of the French army, known for their skill and bravery on the battlefield. Recruited primarily from indigenous populations in Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco, these soldiers brought a unique blend of North African culture and military prowess to the European front.
