EDITORS COMMENTS
Frances tribute to Cardinal Mercier (colour litho) captures a powerful moment in history, showcasing the profound respect and admiration bestowed upon Cardinal Mercier by the French Republic. In this poignant image, we witness President Poincare and General Foch, accompanied by King Albert I, as they make their way to the Cathedral of Malines to honor the fearless defender of Belgium during German oppression. The scene is filled with symbolism and emotion as priests, military personnel, and a jubilant crowd gather to witness this historic event. The French War Cross is presented to Cardinal Mercier in recognition of his unwavering dedication to protecting Belgium under dire circumstances during World War One. Beltrame's masterful illustration beautifully captures the essence of this solemn occasion. The architectural grandeur of the cathedral serves as a backdrop for this significant meeting between religious leaders and political figures. It symbolizes unity and resilience in the face of adversity. This print not only commemorates an act of honor but also celebrates victory over oppression. It represents a collective gratitude towards those who selflessly served their countries during one of history's most challenging periods. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded that even amidst turmoil and destruction, humanity can come together to recognize bravery, sacrifice, and devotion.
