Légende

The Germans in Paris: bivouac of Uhlans in the Champs Elysées, 1871. Franco-Prussian War. 'The Bavarians were quartered here in the Palais de l'Industrie, and the Prussians in the Cirque Imperiale...German troopers had picketed their horses in long lines between the trees; battalions of infantry had taken off their knapsacks, piled arms, exchanged their pointed helmets for caps, and were cooking their dinners amongst the withered remains of exotic shrubs...up the side streets might be seen soldiers on foot and on horseback looking for their lodgings with the deliberation peculiar to the German. Others were preparing, when night came, to bivouac in the open air'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
