Framed Print of Rebuilding St. Cloud, Paris, 1874. Creator: William James Palmer
Rebuilding St. Cloud, Paris, 1874. Three years and a half ago the palace, gardens, park, and small town of St. Cloud, one of the most attractive suburbs of the French metropolis, were the centre of a tremendous military struggle between the two most powerful nations of Europe [ie the Franco-Prussian War]. St. Cloud was reduced to a field of unsightly and melancholy ruins by the tremendous storm of warfare that continued during many years to rage over its trim precincts. The work of rebuilding has lately been commenced at the château, having already made some progress in the town. This is the subject of which an Illustration is supplied by one of our Paris Artists. A party of labourers are seen employed in digging out and lifting the loose blocks of stone that encumber the site, in order to lay new foundations there. A two-horse waggon is laden with beams of timber, half charred by the fire that destroyed the former edifice. Two crippled soldiers, one of them a zouave, examine sadly enough the scene which bears such tokens of a disastrous struggle. Much has been done in removing the fragments of the once stately palace, but it is said that the portico looking towards the park may be preserved'. From Illustrated London News, 1874.
