EDITORS COMMENTS
Le jour de gloire: A Grand View of Place de la Concorde during the Triumphal Entry of Allied Commanders in 1919 This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the historic moment when the Allied commanders, including Generals Ferdinand Foch and Joseph Joffre, rode through Paris' Place de la Concorde in 1919. The scene marks the end of the First World War and the beginning of the peace celebrations. The image showcases the grandeur of the Place de la Concorde, with the iconic Luxor Obelisk standing tall in the background. The square is filled with a sea of people, eager to witness the triumphant entry of the Allied forces. In the foreground, General Foch and General Joffre are seen riding on horseback, leading their respective armies. The American army, represented by their flags, is approaching the Concorde bridge, signaling the unity and collaboration among the Allies. The photograph is a testament to the honor and respect accorded to the commanders who played a pivotal role in securing victory for the Allies during the First World War. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of this moment and the collective efforts of the Allied forces in bringing peace to Europe after years of conflict.
