EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Les fetes de la victoire en Belgique; sur le Grand Place de Bruxelles, le 22 juillet: 1919" by Jean Clair-Guyot, captures the jubilant atmosphere of the Victory Celebrations in Brussels, Belgium on July 22, 1919. The Grand Place, a historic city square, is filled with a sea of people, gathered to honor the end of the First World War and pay tribute to the Allied forces. The balcony of the City Hall has been transformed into a grand tribune, where young girls from local schools stand, forming a square around the banners of various corporations. Waving blue, white, and red flags, representing the Belgian and French colors, they cheer and sing the "Marseillaise" and the "Brabanconne," the national anthems of France and Belgium, respectively. The crowd, a mix of people from all walks of life, join in the patriotic display, their faces filled with joy and relief. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the unity and resilience of the European people during a time of great turmoil and upheaval. This photograph is from the album "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924.
