EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Francois Thevenot in November 1918, captures the historic moment when the Strasbourg Statue in Place de la Concorde, Paris, was covered in flags and crowns to celebrate the end of the First World War. The 8th arrondissement of Paris, home to the Carnavalet Museum and the Ministry of the Navy, was the backdrop for this significant event. The statue of Strasbourg, a symbol of French patriotism, stood proudly in Place de la Concorde, formerly known as Place de la Revolution, amidst a sea of colors. The square, adorned with flags from various nations, bore witness to the unity and camaraderie that emerged from the devastating war. The urban landscape, a blend of historic and modern elements, added to the sense of triumph and renewal. Francois Thevenet's composition expertly balances the grandeur of the statue with the intricate details of the flags and the vibrant hues they display. The photograph, a testament to the historic significance of the moment, transports us back to a time of hope and healing in the aftermath of World War I. The image, held in the collections of the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, continues to be an important piece of France's artistic and historical heritage.
