EDITORS COMMENTS
On January 28, 1921, a solemn ceremony took place in Paris as the coffin of an unknown soldier was set to be placed in the vault under the Arc of Triumph. This unidentified French soldier had tragically lost his life during World War I and was selected from eight coffins that could not be identified.
The journey of this fallen hero began on November 11, 1920 when his coffin was carried from the Pantheon to a room within the iconic Arch of Triumph. The significance of this momentous occasion cannot be understated as it symbolizes the sacrifice made by countless soldiers who gave their lives for their country.
As crowds gathered to pay their respects and honor this unknown soldier, emotions ran high and tears were shed for all those who never returned home from war. The ceremony served as a poignant reminder of the toll that conflict takes on individuals and nations alike.
After the final rites were performed, the soldier's body would find its resting place beneath the majestic Arch of Triumph, where he would forever be remembered for his bravery and service to France. This print captures a historic moment in time that will continue to resonate with generations to come.
