EDITORS COMMENTS
"Les Fetes de la Victoire en Belgique; a Liege, le 24 juillet: la tribune officielle dressée sur la Place Saint-Lambert pour la remise de la croix de la Légion d'honneur à l'heroique ville belge, 1919" is a captivating photograph capturing the grandeur and solemnity of the Victory Celebrations in Liege, Belgium, on July 24, 1919. The image, created by Colin, was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The scene unfolds on the Place Saint-Lambert, where an official tribune has been meticulously arranged for the presentation of the Legion d'Honneur award to the heroic city of Belgium. The photograph offers a glimpse into the post-World War I era, with dignitaries and Allied representatives gathered to honor the resilient nation. King Albert I of Belgium, then King Albert I of the Belgians, sits regally on the tribune, surrounded by other distinguished figures such as Ferdinand Foch, the Marshal of France and Allied Supreme Commander. The photograph features a striking contrast between the formal attire of the dignitaries and the backdrop of the bustling city. Duchess Elisabeth Gabrielle Valerie Marie of Bavaria, later known as Elisabeth Queen of the Belgians, stands elegantly next to King Albert I, while Henriette Benucci and Henriette Poincaré, both prominent figures in their own right, are also present. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment, as the city of Liege and the Belgian people are recognized for their courage and resilience during the First World War. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the Allied victory and the unity that emerged from the devastating conflict. The solemn ceremony serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of Belgium and its people, as they gathered to celebrate their triumph and look towards a hopeful future.
