EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in Parisian history during the Franco-Prussian War in December 1870. The image shows a long queue of women, dressed in their finest winter attire, patiently waiting their turn outside a butcher shop. The war had led to food shortages in the city, and the butcher's shop was one of the few places where residents could still obtain fresh meat. The siege of Paris, which began in September 1870, had left the city's population desperate for supplies. The Prussian army, led by General von Moltke, had surrounded the city, cutting off all access to food and other essentials. The situation grew increasingly dire as the winter months approached, and the women in this photograph were among the many who had braved the cold to secure meat for their families. Despite the hardships, the women in the queue maintain an orderly and respectful demeanor, demonstrating the resilience and determination of the Parisian people during this difficult time. The butcher, seen in the doorway of his shop, cuts and weighs the meat for each customer, ensuring that everyone receives their fair share. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles endured by the people of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War. It also highlights the importance of community and the human spirit in times of crisis. The image has been preserved in the Mary Evans Prints Online collection and continues to be an invaluable resource for historians and students of history.
