[ERCKMANN-CHATRIAN] The Siege of Phalsbourg Two earthenware plates from a series of twelve “talking” plates depicting the story of Moïse and Sorelé during the siege of Phalsbourg. Fine earthenware, printed and marked “Sarreguemines” on the back. Sarreguemines, early 20th century. Émile Erckmann and Alexandre Chatrian, while not entirely free of anti-Semitic prejudices, nevertheless show a certain degree of sympathy when they refer to Jews.
