After the disastrous defeat of the French at Sedan and the capture of Napoleon III, the Prussians surrounded Paris on 9 September 1870, besieging the city until its eventual surrender in January 1871.

They were instrumental in the overthrow of the government in March 1871 and the establishment of the Paris Commune. From a private collection.
