EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the joyous French celebrations marking the long-awaited return of Alsace region to France. Taken by Jean-Jacques Waltz, also known as Hansi, this illustration beautifully depicts a significant moment in history. Between 1871 and 1918, the Franco-Prussian War had caused France to cede Alsace to Germany, leaving a deep sense of loss and longing among its people. However, in 1919, the Treaty of Versailles finally led to the German cession of Alsace back to France. In this image, we witness an outpouring of national pride as crowds gather together to commemorate this historic event. The atmosphere is electric with excitement and relief as flags wave proudly in the air. People from all walks of life join hands in unity, celebrating their shared heritage and reclaiming what was rightfully theirs. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every face tells a story filled with emotions ranging from jubilation to tears of happiness. Through his skillful brushstrokes, Waltz immortalizes this momentous occasion for future generations. As we gaze upon this powerful illustration today, we are reminded not only of Alsace's tumultuous past but also its resilience and unwavering spirit. This print serves as a poignant reminder that borders may shift over time but cultural identity remains steadfast within our hearts.
