EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating front cover illustration from Le Petit Journal, dated 26th April 1914, pays homage to the prestigious institutions of Polytechnique and Saint-Cyr. This vibrant colour lithograph print showcases the honour bestowed upon these special military schools in France. In this artwork by an anonymous French School artist, we witness a grand display of patriotism and discipline. The image features a group of student soldiers, cadets from both Polytechnique and Saint-Cyr, proudly donning their uniforms adorned with plumed hats. Each cadet holds a sword decorated with tricolour flags, symbolizing their dedication to their country. The composition exudes a sense of reverence as the young pupils stand tall beneath an impressive gate adorned with an eagle pediment. The tricolore flag waves proudly above them, representing their love for the fatherland. This illustration not only captures the spirit of these esteemed academies but also reflects the Napoleonic era's influence on military education in France. It serves as a reminder of past wars fought by French soldiers who have emerged from these very halls. Preserved in a private collection today, this historical artwork offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century France and its commitment to education and national pride. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Polytechnique and Saint-Cyr as they continue to shape future generations of officers dedicated to serving their country.
