EDITORS COMMENTS
La Nouvelle Europe: The German Elections of 1919 - Two Young Vote Collectors Supporting the German National People's Party This evocative photograph captures the essence of a pivotal moment in German history: the general elections of 1919, held in the aftermath of the First World War and the collapse of the German Empire. The image, titled "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" and published by L'Illustration, Paris in 1924, depicts two young women dressed in conservative attire, standing on a street corner and diligently collecting ballots for the German National People's Party (Deutschnationalen Volkspartei or DNVP). The women's modest yet determined expressions convey the gravity of the political climate during this tumultuous period. The German National People's Party, a conservative and nationalist political force, emerged as a significant player in the Weimar Republic's political landscape, advocating for a return to traditional values and a strong German state. Their campaign for votes was a crucial factor in shaping the political direction of post-war Germany. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the activism and campaigning that took place during this period, as the country navigated the complexities of democracy and the aftermath of war. The contrasting colors of the women's white blouses and black coats, set against the monochrome backdrop, further emphasizes the stark contrasts and transformations underway in German society during the 1910s. The photograph's provenance is unknown, but its historical significance is undeniable. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the political, social, and fashionable aspects of the early 20th century. The image stands as a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve the spirit of an era.
