DESCRIPTION

Considered one of the first war correspondents, the British journalist William Howard Russell was sent to the Prussian General Staff by the London Times to cover the war. From the Battle of Bazeilles in August 1870 until the proclamation of the German Empire at Versailles after the French defeat in January 1871, his observations depict the cruelty of the conflict for both military and civilians.
