EDITORS COMMENTS
(A First Communion in Alsace: Prayer at the Graves of Soldiers), 1916, is a poignant and evocative photograph capturing a profound moment of faith and remembrance during the tumultuous era of the First World War. The image, from the Collection de la Guerre IV of "L'Illustration" Tome CXLVIII, depicts a group of young girls dressed in their white communion attire, gathered around the graves of fallen soldiers in the Alsace region of France. The girls, with their veils covering their heads, are seen in prayer, their hands folded in supplication, as they pay their respects to the dead. The backdrop of the photograph is a serene yet haunting landscape of rolling hills and mountains, dotted with crosses and tombs. The Vosges Mountains loom in the distance, a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war. The image conveys a sense of solemnity and reverence, as the girls commemorate both their own religious milestone and the sacrifice of the fallen soldiers. The photograph is a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of faith and resilience in the face of adversity. It also serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, and the importance of remembering those who have given their lives in defense of their country. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their image has left an indelible mark on history, capturing a moment of profound significance during a time of great upheaval.
