EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from 1648 documents a triumphant moment in French history as Parisians celebrate their victory over the Spanish at the Battle of Lens. The Spanish forces had been defeated, and the citizens of Paris took to the streets to mark the occasion with a grand procession. In the photograph, we see a sea of people, their faces filled with joy and pride, as they carry captured Spanish flags and arms towards Notre-Dame. The Catholic cathedral served as a symbol of French national identity and the triumphal march was a way for the Parisians to express their unity and celebrate their military success. The scene is a testament to the power of community spirit and the significance of victory in shaping the course of history. This photograph is a precious reminder of a pivotal moment in the rich and complex history of France, and it continues to inspire awe and fascination to this day.
