Légende

People of Alsace, 1871. An '...Illustration of this war history...representing the interior of a house, and costume of the women, in the more primitive districts of Alsace, now transferred to German rule, after belonging to France about two hundred years. It will be regarded with some interest by the readers of Messrs. Erckmann and Chatrian's very popular stories, "The Conscript," "Waterloo," "The Invasion," and others recently translated into English. We can only hope that the Alsatians, who are half German and half French, will be allowed to live comfortably, and that their country will never again become the seat of war'. Alsace-Lorraine, officially the Imperial Territory of Alsace-Lorraine, was a territory of the German Empire, located in modern-day France. It was established in 1871 by the German Empire after it had occupied the region during the Franco-Prussian War. Alsatian culture is characterized by a blend of German and French influences. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
