EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic print captures the Pilgrimage of Alsatians to France on 14 July 1897, a momentous event that symbolized the resilience and patriotism of the Alsace region. The colour lithograph showcases a sea of people crossing the border to celebrate Bastille Day, marking their allegiance to France despite being under German rule since the Franco-Prussian War. The image portrays a powerful display of national pride as men, women, and children don traditional costumes while proudly waving French flags. The tricolour flag stands tall in this scene, representing unity and freedom. It serves as a reminder of the significance of Bastille Day as a national holiday for all French citizens. The composition beautifully depicts both joyous celebration and deep-rooted nationalism. Each individual's face reflects determination and hope for liberation from foreign occupation. This photograph not only encapsulates an important historical moment but also represents the spirit of resistance against oppression. As we gaze upon this image from over a century ago, it reminds us how culture and identity can transcend borders. It serves as an enduring testament to the strength of Alsace's connection with France throughout history.
