EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Paris under Bombardment" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. The artist, Edwin Buckman, skillfully captures the chaos and destruction that engulfed the city during this tumultuous time. The scene depicted is both haunting and poignant. We find ourselves standing amidst a war-torn room, witnessing firsthand the devastating impact of bombing raids on Parisian dwellings. The once vibrant interiors now lay in ruins, shattered by relentless bombardments. This print serves as a stark reminder of the horrors faced by those caught in the crossfire. As we explore further into the image, our eyes are drawn to an underground cellar where frightened residents sought refuge from the constant threat above ground. These brave individuals huddled together for safety along Rue de la Procession and Chaussee du Maine streets in Vaugirard district – their resilience shining through even amidst such dire circumstances. "Paris under Bombardment" not only showcases Buckman's artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into French history during one of its darkest hours. It serves as a testament to human endurance and reminds us of the indomitable spirit that can emerge even in times of great adversity. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to reflect upon these historical events while appreciating Buckman's talent for capturing raw emotions within his engravings.
