Date: 1920-1921.Eby's military unit was involved in the 1918 Battle of Château-Thierry, a major offensive in northern France. Fought outside the town, it helped stop the German army from advancing toward Paris and, despite heavy casualties, represented a major victory for Allied forces. French and American troops succeeded despite gas and artillery attacks, aerial bombardment, and bad weather, aided by tanks and advance warning about German plans gleaned from captured soldiers. Eby's seemingly endless row of soldiers emphasizes the sheer number of combatants. Their line, which parallels that of the flat hills behind them, extends beyond the edge of the plate, giving a sense that it is nearly limitless.

After the disastrous defeat of the French at Sedan and the capture of Napoleon III, the Prussians surrounded Paris on 9 September 1870. The French commander, General Trochu, initially opted to rely on a static defence based on the city's fortifications rather than trying to break through the Prussian encirclement. The Prussians, meanwhile, had no intention of invading the city, relying on a blockade to compel its capitulation. Eventually the French made several attempts to break out, but all were unsuccessful. The city held out despite famine and great hardship until a bombardment with heavy siege guns led to its surrender on 28 January 1871. From a private collection.
