The French on the other side of the Rhine - A Glimpse into Occupied Frankfurt
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, created by Achille Beltrame in 1920, offers a vivid depiction of historical significance. Entitled "The French on the other side of the Rhine" it portrays the arrival of France's first occupying troops in Frankfurt after World War I. The image was originally published as an illustration for Courier Sunday, shedding light on this momentous event. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a scene filled with military precision and authority. French soldiers march confidently along a road that stretches towards occupied Germany's heartland. Clad in their distinctive uniforms and armed with rifles at their sides, these troops symbolize both power and occupation. Intriguingly, amidst this display of might, female soldiers can be spotted among their male counterparts—a testament to evolving gender roles during wartime. This inclusion adds depth to our understanding of how women contributed to combat units during this period. Beltrame's masterful use of color lithography brings life to every detail captured within the frame— from the vibrant blue river that is emblematic of the mighty Rhine itself to each soldier's uniform meticulously rendered with accuracy and finesse. This remarkable artwork serves as a powerful reminder not only of France's presence across enemy lines but also highlights the lasting impact left by World War I and its aftermath—the Treaty of Versailles. It stands as an enduring testament to history while offering us a glimpse into one pivotal moment during those tumultuous times.
