Petain et Foch a Strasbourg; La parure de fete de Strasbourg liberee - deux facades ornees
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, specifically from the year 1918. The image, taken in the historic city of Strasbourg, Alsace, France, captures the moment of celebration and liberation following the end of the war. The photograph features two beautifully decorated facades on the Grande-Rue and the quai des Bateliers. The sun, which had shone brightly on November 22 for the entry of Gouraud and his brave soldiers, was absent on the day of the 25th. However, the exaltation of the population managed to infuse the celebration with a sublime character. The scene is set against the backdrop of the post-war era, with French flags flying high and tricolour banners adorning the buildings. General Petain and Marshal Foch, two prominent French military leaders, are depicted in the photograph, standing amongst the cheering crowd. The victorious soldiers, having just liberated the city, are seen celebrating their victory with their countrymen. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the patriotic fervor that swept through France during the post-war period. The decorations on the facades, the raised flags, and the triumphant expressions on the faces of the soldiers and civilians all speak to the sense of relief and joy that came with the end of the war. This photograph, from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the French people during a time of great upheaval. The unknown photographer has captured a moment in history that continues to inspire awe and admiration to this day.
