EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Worker of Victory! Thank You!), a poignant and emotive photograph by Louis Remy Sabattier, captures the raw emotion and relief of the Armistice of 1918. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, portrays a French man in work clothes, embracing his wife and son, both dressed in their Sunday best. The scene is set in a quiet, peaceful location, with the man's cap and helmet lying on the ground nearby, symbolizing his return from the battlefield. The image conveys a sense of gratitude, relief, and joy, as the man expresses his thanks for making it home alive. The woman, with a look of pride and happiness on her face, cradles their son, who gazes up at his father with curiosity and wonder. The image encapsulates the concept of peace and the reunion of families after the long and grueling years of World War I. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of family and love in times of hardship. Sabattier's skillful use of light and shadow, along with the authenticity of the moment, makes this image a timeless masterpiece of 20th-century photography. The black and white medium adds to the sense of history and nostalgia, making it a must-have for any collection focusing on the First World War, France, or the concept of peace and family.
