L'Apotheose du Soldat; Un arrêt place de la Concorde - M. Millerand et le groupe
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph capturing a significant moment in post-World War I France. The image, taken in 1920, depicts a ceremonial procession halted at Place de la Concorde in Paris. At the center of the scene stands Alexandre Millerand, the French politician who served as the President of the French Council of Ministers from 1913 to 1920. Behind Millerand, a group of officials stands respectfully, with their backs to a canon that bears the casket of an Unknown Soldier. The fallen hero's final journey culminates at the iconic Luxor Obelisk, a symbol of peace and commemoration. The setting is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the collective mourning of the nation. The photograph is part of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2," published by L'Illustration, a renowned French weekly magazine. The image encapsulates the concept of remembrance and the importance of honoring the fallen soldiers, as well as the political significance of the event. The black and white composition evokes a sense of history, as the men in uniform, the square, and the architecture transport us back to the 1910s and 1920s. The image is a testament to the enduring power of symbols and the collective memory of a nation, as it continues to commemorate the sacrifices made during the First World War. The photograph's creator remains unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this poignant moment in history. The print serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of remembering the past and honoring the sacrifices made for peace and freedom.
