Description
'Paris, 1870'. France, armed and in full armour, mans her country's defences. At France's feet can be seen a number of contemporary newspapers, and a fool's cap. This relates to the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. The French had suffered a number of heavy defeats at the hands of the Prussians. However, French newspapers had carried a number of stories applauding French victories and so the news of the Prussian advances was cause for much excitement and concern. From Punch, or the London Charivari, September 3, 1870.F (Photo by The Cartoon Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images)
