EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Apotheosis of the Soldier; The Soldier's Coffin Leaves the Pantheon: On the Square, the 155mm Gun That Will Receive It and the Cart on Which the Heart of Gambetta Was Carried), 1920, is a poignant and symbolic photograph from the aftermath of the First World War. The image, taken from L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2 by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, captures a significant moment in French history as the unknown soldier's coffin is being transported from the Pantheon to the Place du Carrousel, where it will be interred at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The photograph shows a crowd gathered around the Pantheon, a historic building in Paris, as the coffin is being carried out. A horse-drawn cart, draped in the French flag, awaits the arrival of the coffin, with a gun carriage and a 155mm gun standing ready to fire a salute. The image is a powerful representation of the mourning and commemoration of the fallen soldiers during the post-war period. The photograph also pays homage to Leon Gambetta, a prominent French statesman and military leader, whose heart was previously interred at the Pantheon. The photograph is a symbolic reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the importance of remembering those who gave their lives for their country. The image also marks the beginning of the commemorative traditions that continue to this day, as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier remains a significant site of remembrance and honor for the fallen soldiers of France. The photograph, taken in the early 1920s, captures the essence of the peace and remembrance that followed the end of the war, and serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of the First World War on French history and culture.
