About this work
"The [Franco-Prussian] War: Defence of Paris-Students Going to Man the Barricades"
One of the iconic images of the Franco-Prussian War. After the surrender of Napoleon III, the French Republic refused the German settlement terms, and the war was forced to continue. Paris was besieged, and people of all walks of life entered into its defence.
