Légende

The French Siege of Paris: armour-plated locomotive battery, 1871. 'The French siege of Paris, as it may properly be called, still affords subjects for our Illustrations; and one of our Special Artists, who saw and sketched many scenes of the late war between the French and Germans, is now in Paris, having just left Versailles, to furnish us with sketches of this domestic war, which seems much worse than the other...The Communists have a travelling battery, drawn by a locomotive engine on the Western railroad, from the Batignolles towards Asnières, which did them some little service in a late action'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
