Nationalism Occupied Patriotism Permitted Strasbourg Tricolore


EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant print captures a moment of unwavering patriotism and defiance in the face of occupation. The year is 1908, and an old soldier in German-occupied Strasbourg stands proudly with the French flag draped over his shoulder. Despite being under foreign rule, he is permitted to display the tricolore - a symbol of resilience, history, and national identity. The vibrant colors of blue, white, and red stand out against the backdrop of a city torn by conflict. The soldier's weathered face tells a story of years spent fighting for his country, now reduced to displaying its flag as an act of silent protest. This image speaks volumes about the strength of nationalism and the enduring spirit of France during difficult times. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of darkness, there are those who will continue to uphold their beliefs with pride. As we reflect on this historical photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded that symbols like the French flag hold deep meaning for individuals who have sacrificed so much for their homeland. It is a testament to the courage and resilience of those who refuse to be silenced in the face of adversity.
