Original - Photogravure of Bazeilles (1870) by François Lafon. Shows the Battle of Bazeilles in the Franco-Prussian War, one of the first examples of urban warfare
Reason
Photogravures are always attractive, and this is a rather fine example of the medium. Not sure the tinting is needed, but that's certainly what it was meant to look like, give or take a small amount of saturation, unless the ink has faded in very unusual ways.
