EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Les fetes de la victoire en Belgique; le 22 juillet, a Bruxelles, M Poincare depose une couronne au pied de Monument aux Morts' (The Victory Celebrations in Belgium; July 22, Brussels, M Poincare lays a wreath at the Monument to the Dead), was published in the French magazine L'Illustration in 1924, following the end of the First World War. The image captures a poignant moment in history as Raymond Poincaré, the President of France, pays his respects to the fallen soldiers of Belgium during the victory celebrations in Brussels on July 22, 1919. The Monument aux Morts, or Monument to the Dead, stands proudly in the background, a testament to the sacrifices made during the war. Poincaré, dressed in formal attire, is seen laying a wreath at the foot of the monument, surrounded by a sea of soldiers in uniform, all paying their respects to their fallen comrades. The image is filled with a sense of solemnity and honour, as the politicians and soldiers come together to commemorate the lives lost during the conflict. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the postwar tribute paid to the fallen soldiers of Belgium and the unity of the Allied forces during a time of peace. The image, though devoid of colour, is rich in history and emotion, capturing a moment in time that continues to resonate with us today.
