EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Prussian soldiers on the march during the Franco-Prussian War in September 1870. The image showcases a Landwehr regiment of the Prussian army, led by a determined drummer setting the rhythm for their steady advance. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive military uniforms, exude strength and discipline as they march forward with bayonets fixed to their rifles. Each soldier carries his weapon with purpose, ready to defend his country against any threat that may arise. Amidst the seriousness of warfare, this photograph also highlights the important role of music in boosting morale and maintaining unity within an army. The drummer at the forefront symbolizes not only musical talent but also serves as a reminder of camaraderie among these brave men. The wood engraving technique used adds depth and texture to this historical snapshot, transporting us back to a time when conflicts were fought on foot rather than through modern technology. It is evident that this image was captured during a critical period for Germany's military forces - one that would shape its future trajectory. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of both the sacrifices made by these courageous soldiers and the indomitable spirit that drove them forward amidst adversity.
