EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Les fetes de la victoire a Londres; les troupes americaines contournent l'Arc de Triomphe' (Celebrations of Victory in London; American Troops Circumvent the Arc de Triomphe), was published in 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The image captures a significant moment in history as the victorious American troops, following their triumph in the First World War, make their way around the Arc de Triomphe on Constitution Hill in London. The iconic landmarks of Hyde Park, Green Park, and the Buckingham Palace are visible in the background. The scene is filled with a sense of jubilation and honour as the soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, proudly march through the city. The Arc de Triomphe, a symbol of French military success, stands tall against the backdrop of the Wellington Arch, adding to the grandeur of the moment. The crowd, composed of men, women, and children, eagerly watch the procession, their faces filled with curiosity and admiration. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the post-war celebrations and the unity of the Allied forces in their victory over the Central Powers. The image, though devoid of colour, is rich in emotion and history, encapsulating the spirit of the era and the profound impact of the First World War on the world. The photograph is an invaluable addition to any collection of historical images, offering a glimpse into the past and a testament to the indomitable human spirit.
