Berne-Bellecour enlisted in the French regiment known as the Franc-Tireurs (or, "Snipers of the Seine") during the Franco-Prussian War, and his interest in military subjects dominated his body of work after that experience. Many of his clients were high-ranking French officers during the 1870s. 2000-3000 | |||||||||
