EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a powerful moment of remembrance and resilience. Former soldier Henri Sellier, the man who sounded the end of the fighting in 1918, stands before a crowd of participants in the General States of France Meurtrie in Versailles. As an association of veterans and victims of the First World War, this gathering holds great significance for those who have experienced the horrors and sacrifices of war. With his bugle held high to his lips, Sellier prepares to play a haunting melody that will stir emotions deep within each person present. The engraving beautifully captures this poignant scene from "The Little Journal Illustrates" dated back to 1927. As we observe Sellier's solemn expression and determined stance, it becomes evident that he carries not only his own memories but also those of countless others who fought alongside him. This image symbolizes both patriotism and unity as these brave individuals come together to honor their fallen comrades. The composition is filled with layers: from the intricate details etched into every line by artist Stefano Bianchetti to the diverse expressions on each face in the crowd. It serves as a reminder that even amidst devastation and loss, music can bring solace and healing. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to bear witness to history unfolding before our eyes. It reminds us never to forget the sacrifices made by those who came before us while inspiring hope for a future free from conflict.
