EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "First World War 1914-1918: Paris has the smile" captures a significant moment during the war. The image depicts the passage of zeppelins over Paris, as reported by German newspaper "Berliner Tageblatt". The article claimed that the hovering zeppelins were meant to terrorize Paris, but in response, French publication "Le Petit Journal" stated that instead of fear, Parisians laughed at the Germans. The engraving featured in "Le Petit Journal" dated April 4th, 1915, is now part of a private collection. It showcases the resilience and spirit of the people of Paris during this tumultuous time. Despite facing threats from Germany and experiencing the horrors of war firsthand, they found solace in their unity and patriotism. In this artwork by Stefano Bianchetti, we see an amalgamation of symbols representing both France and Germany. The Eiffel Tower stands tall amidst a backdrop filled with zeppelins and bayonets. A lily flower adorns one side while a coat of arms represents both nations' pride. This historic image serves as a reminder that even in times of darkness and conflict, humanity can find strength through laughter and defiance against adversity. It encapsulates not only an important chapter in history but also highlights how art can capture powerful emotions and tell stories that transcend time.
