EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Lannes blesse a mort" transports us back to the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and was featured in the Dictionnaire Populaire Illustre by Decembre-Alonnier, circa 1880. Created by an unknown French artist from that era, this illustration showcases the talent and skill of engravers during this time. The scene depicted in the print captures a dramatic moment as Lannes, a historical figure from Napoleon Bonaparte's army, lies wounded on the battlefield. The artist masterfully portrays the intensity of war through intricate details and shading techniques. The use of black and white adds depth to this piece, emphasizing both light and shadow. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone but still remembered through art like this. This engraving serves as more than just an illustration; it represents history captured within its lines. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of how books served as windows into different worlds during that period. Illustrated dictionaries were not only educational tools but also works of art themselves. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for future generations to appreciate its beauty and historical significance. It stands as a testament to the power of art in capturing moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
