EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle near Amiens on the 23rd of December 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War. The engraving, skillfully created by renowned German artist Georg Koch, showcases the intense storming of the railway dam near Villers Bretonneux by the brave soldiers of the 44thers regiment. Koch's illustrative technique brings to life this significant event, depicting the chaos and determination that characterized this battle. The retro style of this engraving adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity to its portrayal. The Franco-Prussian War was a conflict between France and Germany that had far-reaching consequences for both nations. Known as "the War of 1870" in France, it marked a turning point in European history and greatly influenced subsequent events. Georg Koch, who studied under his father Carl Koch and at Berlin Academy, was highly regarded for his woodcut and lithograph artworks during the late 19th to early 20th century. His attention to detail is evident in this print, capturing not only the action but also conveying emotions felt by those involved. As we admire this historical artwork today, let us remember those who fought bravely on both sides during these tumultuous times. This image serves as a testament to their sacrifice and reminds us of our shared cultural heritage shaped by war and art alike.
