Massed infantry, cavalry, and artillery fill the landscape as two great armies clash beneath clouds of gunpowder smoke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFought on June 24, 1859, the engagement pitted the combined forces of France and the Kingdom of Sardinia against the Austrian Empire. Over 270,000 soldiers took part in one of the largest clashes on the continent since Waterloo, leaving roughly 30,000 casualties across both sides by nightfall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe carnage directly inspired Swiss businessman Henry Dunant, who witnessed the aftermath while traveling through the region. His account of the suffering, published as \"A Memory of Solferino\" in 1862, led to the founding of the Red Cross and the adoption of the first Geneva Convention in 1864.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis reproduction provides insight into a pivotal moment that reshaped the map of Europe and sparked one of the greatest humanitarian movements in modern civilization. Considered among the finest military prints of the era, it brings powerful significance to any office, study, or library.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"8x12 Inch","offer_id":50534770606269,"sku":"ENPM0543_0812L","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x17 Inch","offer_id":50534770639037,"sku":"ENPM0543_1117L","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":50534770671805,"sku":"ENPM0543_1624L","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1odSqItmO54ezclSQ-QzZlBAP4pgH7HQP_w1000.jpg?v=1790266754","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1859-great-battle-of-solferino-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
