EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of a First World War memorial, erected in 1926 by Louis Barillet at Soissons Cathedral in France. The stone sculpture stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the parish's children for their beloved country. Inscribed with the powerful words "souvenez vous enfants de la paroisse dans vos priAres des de la cathedrale de Soissons, morts pour le France" (remember, children of the parish, in your prayers those who died for France), it serves as a lasting tribute to those fallen soldiers. The artwork itself is a striking example of modernist and art deco architecture from the 1920s. Its stylized design and crucifixion motif create an evocative representation of sacrifice and remembrance. The image showcases both its intricate details and grandeur against the backdrop of Soissons Cathedral. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to that tumultuous time in history when Europe was engulfed in war. It reminds us not only of the immense loss suffered during World War I but also serves as a testament to human resilience and strength. Paul Maeyaert's skillful capture allows us to appreciate this cultural heritage from the twentieth century while honoring those who bravely fought for their nations. This print is more than just an artistic depiction; it is a visual connection to our shared history and an everlasting symbol of gratitude towards those who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of
