EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Salon de 1872, Peinture, Famille alsacienne emigrant en France" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print showcases a poignant scene of defeat and displacement during the Franco-Prussian War. The image depicts an Alsace family making the difficult decision to leave their homeland and seek refuge in France. The emotions etched on their faces reflect both sorrow for leaving behind their roots and hope for a better future. Their journey symbolizes the countless stories of emigration that occurred during this turbulent period. Originally published as an illustration for Le Magasin Pittoresque in 1872, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate its intricate details even more vividly. The artist's skillful rendering captures not only the physical features of each family member but also conveys their collective resilience amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of Europe's complex past and how it continues to shape our present. It serves as a reminder that migration has always been an integral part of human existence – driven by war, political turmoil, or simply seeking new opportunities. Through its powerful storytelling and artistic finesse, this print invites us to reflect on themes such as identity, belongingness, and the universal human desire for peace and stability.
