EDITORS COMMENTS
(Our Entry into Strasbourg; An Aspect of the City on November 22, 1918) is a captivating photographic print from the aftermath of the First World War. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, depicts the arrival of the French Fourth Army into the liberated city of Strasbourg, Alsace, France. The photograph captures a moment of jubilation and triumph as soldiers on horseback, led by a man in a hat and coat, ride through the city streets. The buildings, some damaged from the war, line the streets as crowds of people gather to welcome the victorious soldiers. Horses and men, dressed in uniforms, fill the scene, their faces expressing a mix of relief, pride, and excitement. The print provides a glimpse into the postwar celebrations in Strasbourg, a city that had been part of Germany since 1871 but was returned to France following the Treaty of Versailles. The image encapsulates the patriotic spirit of the French people as they welcome their soldiers back from the battlefield. The photograph is a testament to the end of the First World War and the beginning of the peace that followed. It is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of victory and liberation. The print also serves as a visual record of a significant moment in history, one that continues to resonate with us today. The creator of the photograph is unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue of the image. It is a poignant reminder of the past, a visual narrative of a moment in time, and a reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or those with an interest in the First World War, the history of France, or the concept of liberation and victory.
