EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during the spring of 1916, showcasing a pro-German Alsacienne and her German boyfriend smiling at a wretched French soldier who is lost and asking for directions to Bordeaux. The image reflects the propaganda of the time, with Germans claiming that Alsace wanted to be part of Germany.
The pretty Alsacienne's smile seems to convey a sense of satisfaction, while her German boyfriend stands proudly by her side. In contrast, the French soldier appears confused and helpless in his uniform, highlighting the tensions and complexities of war.
This photograph serves as a reminder of the events that unfolded during World War I and sheds light on the power dynamics between nations. It also raises questions about loyalty, identity, and propaganda during times of conflict.
As we look back on this historical moment captured by Rights Managed, we are reminded of how images can shape perceptions and influence narratives. It serves as a poignant reminder of the impact that war has on individuals and societies alike.
