EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a dark chapter in history - the Bombing of Strasbourg by the Prussians in 1870. The image, captured by an unknown artist from the 19th century, showcases the devastating aftermath of war on this picturesque French city. The scene is one of utter destruction and despair. Buildings lay in ruins, their once grand facades reduced to rubble. Smoke billows ominously into the sky, serving as a haunting reminder of the chaos that unfolded during this period. The streets are littered with debris and remnants of lives shattered by conflict. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but feel a sense of sorrow for those who endured such devastation. It serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors inflicted upon innocent civilians caught in the crossfire between warring nations. The Bombing of Strasbourg holds historical significance beyond its immediate impact on France and Germany. It symbolizes not only a specific event but also represents larger themes such as nationalism, territorial disputes, and power struggles that plagued Europe during that era. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured image allows us to reflect on these profound historical moments while reminding us never to forget the human cost associated with war.
