Marshal Joffre, the former Commander in Chief of the French Army and leader of the French military mission to the US at that time, pays tribute to an esteemed figure from both American and French history - Marquis de Lafayette. The image captures Marshal Joffre saluting a magnificent sculpture of Lafayette, who fought valiantly on the American side during the War of Independence in 1775-1783. This powerful gesture symbolizes unity between two nations separated by time but bound by shared values and struggles for freedom. Surrounded by a crowd of people gathered to witness this extraordinary event, Joffre's salute resonates with respect for Lafayette's bravery and unwavering commitment to liberty.
