EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph captures the essence of honour and patriotism, paying tribute to two prestigious French military academies - Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Speciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr. The flags of these esteemed institutions proudly wave in the wind, symbolizing their dedication to excellence and service. Dating back to April 1914, this illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal, a renowned publication of its time. It showcases the deep-rooted respect for education and military tradition that has long been ingrained in French culture. The image evokes a sense of ceremony and unity as soldiers donning their uniforms stand beneath the tricolour flag. Each soldier represents not only themselves but also an entire combat unit, ready to defend France's interests both at home and abroad. Ecole Polytechnique is known for its rigorous scientific curriculum while Ecole Speciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr focuses on training future officers for the armed forces. Together, they embody the values of discipline, knowledge, and bravery that are essential qualities within any military organization. This print serves as a reminder of France's rich history and ongoing commitment to national defense. It encapsulates the pride felt by those who have passed through these hallowed halls of learning and prepares them for a lifetime dedicated to serving their country with honor.
