EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Deliverance of Alsace and Lorraine Celebrated in Paris on November 17, 1918) is a captivating photograph from the first world war era, captured by an unknown artist. The image is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph depicts a joyous celebration in Paris, marking the liberation of Alsace and Lorraine from German rule. The scene unfolds at Place de la Concorde, where a large crowd has gathered to welcome the Italian military delegation. In the foreground, soldiers stand proudly, some saluting, while civilians cheer and wave flags. At the center of the square, a statue of Strasbourg stands tall, symbolizing the historical connection between the regions and their long-awaited freedom. The photograph captures the patriotic fervor of the French people, who had endured years of war and occupation. The victory of the Allied forces on the Western Front brought hope and relief, and the people of Paris came out in droves to celebrate their country's triumph. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity. The photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the emotional and symbolic significance of the end of the first world war for the people of France. Despite being an anonymous work, its powerful imagery continues to resonate with viewers, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical photographs or art from the 20th century.
