EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Bringing up Ship Guns at the Buttes Montmartre, Paris" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of the Franco-Prussian War and its impact on Paris. The scene depicts a bustling atmosphere as military personnel diligently transport ship guns up the steep slopes of Buttes Montmartre. Horses play a crucial role in this operation, showcasing their strength and agility as they pull heavy artillery through the rugged terrain. The image showcases various horse breeds, from elegant racehorses to sturdy shire horses, all working together towards a common goal. The setting itself is iconic - Buttes Montmartre rises majestically in the background while Parisian buildings dotting the landscape add depth and context to this historical event. It's fascinating how such an ordinary location can become a stage for extraordinary events during times of conflict. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on February 4th, 1871, providing readers with visual insight into one aspect of war efforts during that time. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse of not only military operations but also glimpses into French culture and European history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry from Fine Art Finder's collection for us to appreciate and reflect upon today.
