La Guerre a L'Allemande
EDITORS COMMENTS
; les portails de Notre-Dame proteges par des sacs de terre, 1918, is a poignant photograph capturing a significant moment during the First World War. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph depicts the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, with its historic portals protected by large sacks of earth. The cathedral, a symbol of Christianity and French culture, stands defiantly amidst the chaos and destruction of war. The background is filled with people, some working to fortify the cathedral, while others look on in quiet contemplation. The title of the photograph, "La Guerre a L'Allemande" (The War is German), reflects the sentiment of the time, as France was under attack from German forces. The protective measures taken to safeguard the cathedral underscore the importance of preserving cultural and historical treasures during times of conflict. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the impact of war on communities and the lengths they will go to protect what they hold dear. The image is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of faith and culture. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into a pivotal moment in world history. Its inclusion in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" underscores its significance and importance as a record of the First World War. The photograph's creator remains unknown, adding to its mystery and intrigue. Despite this, the image remains a powerful and evocative reminder of the past and the importance of preserving history for future generations.
