Research Point: Franco Prussian war

I am currently reading Sandi Toksvig’s memoir “Between the Stops”. Coincidentally she mentions the half Danish artist Pissarro and the Franco Prussian war – touched upon in my post regarding Odillon Redon – where both artists were deeply affected. Pissarro’s studio in Paris having been ransacked by the invading army. Just 40 out of 1500 paintings  were saved. He later settled in Croydon with his wife. I wonder what he thought of Croydon.
