Face a L'agresseur, La séance historique du 3 aout 1914 à la Chambre des Communes
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Face to Face with the Aggressor, The Historic Session of August 3, 1914, in the Chamber of Deputies) is a powerful lithograph by Samuel Begg, created in 1914. This historical image is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in the House of Commons, the British parliament, during a critical debate on the outbreak of the First World War. Sir Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon, the British Foreign Secretary, is depicted standing at the dispatch box, his intense gaze fixed on the members of parliament, who are seated in a row, some leaning forward, listening intently to his words. The atmosphere is tense, with a sense of urgency and gravity in the air. The black and white image, reminiscent of the 20th century and the 1910s, captures the interior of the Palace of Westminster, the iconic British landmark where parliamentary debates take place. The benches and boxes are arranged neatly, with the despatch box prominently featured at the center of the image. The men in suits, some with serious expressions, others with furrowed brows, reflect the gravity of the situation. The title "Face a L'agresseur" suggests the impending threat of war and the need for a strong response. Sir Edward Grey's stance and demeanor convey a sense of determination and resolve, as he delivers a crucial message to the members of parliament. The image is a testament to the political drama and historical significance of the time, and a poignant reminder of the impact of political decisions on the course of history.
