EDITORS COMMENTS
Andre Galland's poignant lithograph, "Les Indesirables; Deux 'Strasbourgeois' venus d'Allemagne y retournent, derriere leurs colis" (Two 'Strasbourgeois' Returning from Germany with Their Belongings), captures the bittersweet moment of post-World War I reconstruction in Alsace, France. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, depicts two men, likely of Alsatian descent, returning to their homeland after being expelled from Germany during the war. The men, weary and burdened with their belongings, are being assisted by a young Alsatian boy as they make their way back home with a handcart. The scene exudes a sense of relief and hope, as the victorious French forces had recently liberated Alsace-Lorraine from German control. The concept of the print is deeply rooted in the historical context of the First World War, with its themes of displacement, migration, and the longing for peace and security. The powerful image invites us to reflect on the human cost of war and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
