EDITORS COMMENTS
Le jour de gloire: Le defile triomphal place de la Concorde, l'entrée de la rue Royale (The Triumphal Parade: The Entry into Rue Royale at Place de la Concorde, 1919) is an evocative photograph capturing the atmosphere of the post-World War I victory celebrations in Paris, France. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration in 1924. The photograph depicts a grand military parade making its way through the historic Place de la Concorde, with the Ministry of the Marine visible in the background. The triumphant mood is palpable as the Allied forces, led by Marshals Ferdinand Foch and Joseph Joffre, march in formation. The men, dressed in their uniforms, proudly carry their weapons and flags, while the crowd cheers and waves from the sidelines. The photograph captures the essence of the celebratory moment, as the country honors its heroes and marks the end of a long and arduous conflict. The architecture of the Place de la Concorde and the surrounding buildings, including the obelisk, serve as a striking backdrop to the scene. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the hope for a peaceful future. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the postwar atmosphere and the role of the military in the celebration of victory. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of the French people during a time of great upheaval and change.
