EDITORS COMMENTS
(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, Paris, in 1924, depicts a momentous occasion in French history. The scene unfolds at Place de la Concorde in Paris, before the arrival of the triumphant procession. A detachment of Chasseurs Alpins, or Alpine Hunters, proudly march with their tricolor flag before the official tribune. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, exhibit a sense of victory and patriotism as they await the arrival of the celebratory parade. The photograph captures the essence of the liberated regions of Alsace and Lorraine, which had been under German control since the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. The triumphant return of these territories to France was a significant event in the aftermath of the First World War, and the joy and excitement of the French people are palpable in this image. The photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of the French military and the resilience of the French people during a time of great turmoil and change. The use of the tri-color flag, symbolizing the unity and pride of the French nation, adds to the emotional impact of the image. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in French history and a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War.
