EDITORS COMMENTS
La delivrance de l'Alsace et de la Lorraine celebree a Paris le 17 novembre 1918" (The Liberation of Alsace and Lorraine Celebrated in Paris on November 17, 1918) is a captivating photograph from the first world war era, specifically from the 1910s. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, captures the jubilant atmosphere in Paris as the crowds gathered to celebrate the liberation of Alsace and Lorraine from German rule. The photograph focuses on Place de la Concorde, a prominent square in Paris, where the crowd's excitement is palpable. The image shows the aftermath of the crowd's enthusiasm, with some of the barriers having been torn down. The military presence is evident in the background, with soldiers standing guard and horses tethered to the trees. The people, dressed in their finest attire, are seen waving flags, singing, and dancing in the streets, their faces filled with joy and relief. The liberation of Alsace and Lorraine was a significant event during the first world war, as these regions had been under German control since 1871. The return of these territories to France was a symbol of victory and a source of great pride for the French people. The photograph captures the patriotic fervor and the sense of unity among the crowd, as they came together to celebrate this momentous occasion. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the first world war and the sacrifices made by the people of France during that time. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of the human race, as they come together to celebrate the triumph of peace and freedom over war and oppression. The creator of the photograph is unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this powerful image. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, and a reminder of the rich history and culture of France during the early 20th century.
