EDITORS COMMENTS
The 15th of August of bygone days, 1891. A poignant gathering of French war veterans, captured in a vibrant print from the supplement to Le Petit Journal on 22nd August 1891. This evocative image transports us back to the glorious era of the French Empire when St Napoleon's holiday was celebrated with great fervor. The photograph showcases a group of distinguished men, adorned in their military uniforms, proudly displaying their valor and sacrifice for their beloved country. Amidst this sea of brave soldiers stands an amputee, a testament to the physical toll that war exacts upon its warriors. His presence serves as a reminder that even amidst triumph and celebration, there are scars borne by those who have fought valiantly. The colors captured in this print breathe life into these memories from over a century ago. They remind us that history is not just black and white but rather filled with vivid hues that bring forth emotions and stories long forgotten. As we gaze upon these aged faces, we cannot help but feel gratitude for their service and sacrifices made on behalf of France. Their reunion symbolizes resilience and camaraderie among brothers-in-arms who shared experiences only they can truly understand. This artwork serves as both an homage to our past heroes and an invitation to remember the lessons learned from wars gone by. It is a visual representation of how art can preserve history while stirring emotions within our hearts.
