Description

A mural depicting the surrender of French troops to the German Empire at Sedan in 1870. While this particular mural was completed in 1884, it retains the aspects of the painting shown at the Philadelphia Centennial that angered W.D. Howells, with one ally and fellow exhibitor France being humiliated by Germany in their exhibit. - Bradford Gladstone
