EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful illustration from "Histoire de l'Alsace" by Hansi, dating back to around 1915. The artwork depicts a French soldier liberating Alsace, with vibrant colors brought to life through the lithographic technique. This piece is part of a private collection and captures an important moment in history. The image portrays the symbolic awakening of Alsace, often referred to as the "Sleeping Beauty" as it was historically contested territory between France and Germany. The soldier's heroic presence represents France reclaiming its lost region during World War I. Through this illustration, we are reminded of the significant role that Alsace-Lorraine played in both world wars. Its strategic location made it a focal point for territorial disputes between European powers during these tumultuous times. The artist's attention to detail and use of color evoke emotions tied to patriotism and national identity. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers who fought for their countries during this era. As we reflect on this artwork, we honor those who fought bravely in World War I while appreciating art's ability to capture historical moments and convey profound messages about our shared past.
