Bringing up ship guns at the Buttes Montmartre, Paris, (sketch by balloon post), 1871. Creator: Unknown

Bringing up ship guns at the Buttes Montmartre, Paris, (sketch by balloon post), 1871. The Siege of Paris, Franco-Prussian War....we present [an illustration]...from the sketches of our clever French Artist, M. Jules Pelcoq, sent out of that city by balloon post...a scene at the Buttes Montmartre, the well-known hill on the north side of Paris, which is a conspicuous landmark, with its lofty windmills. Here some of the heavy ship guns, brought from the fleet at Cherbourg, were mounted for the defence of the capital. Our Illustration shows the toilsome business of dragging them up to this commanding position'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871
