Die Befreiung Saarburgs von den Franzosen am 27.August 1914, bei der sich die bayerischen Truppen ganz besonders auszeichneten
A 1914 German colour lithograph published as a pictorial war print, showing the liberation of Saarburg from French troops on 27 August 1914 with Bavarian soldiers prominent. The picture is a crowded street scene of grey-green uniformed soldiers charging through a town square past burning and damaged buildings, with a rearing bright-red-roofed house and a tree at right. A designer could take its dense, diagonal motion, flat saturated primary colours and busy crowd composition as a model for energetic historical illustration.
