Face droite de la brèche du bastion 11, Gezicht op een bres in een bastion te Straatsburg tengevolge van een besiege door het Duitse leger, page, photomechanical print, photographer: Charles David Winter, Straatsburg (France), clichémaker: anonymous, printer (person): Goupil & Cie., 1870, printer (person), paper, Woodburytype, Woodburytypie, height 101 mm x width 171 mm, bastion, bulwark, assault, siege, consequences of war, A wide sepia-toned photograph shows a large stone and earth embankment rising from a calm body of water, with the embankment surface textured by horizontal lines and patches of lighter discoloration. The top edge of the embankment is uneven and rocky, and a group of small human figures stand and sit along the ridge and slopes, some near areas of exposed rubble. To the left a rounded rocky hill rises behind the embankment, and to the right the embankment steps down into a steep, broken cliff face with scattered rocks at its base. The sky above is pale with faint, wispy clouds, and the water below reflects a smooth, muted tone.
