EDITORS COMMENTS
In the Grand Square in Brussels, a vibrant mix of emotions fills the air as news spreads of Belgium's triumph over the German forces and the fall of Liege. This colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing both excitement and disappointment among the people. The image depicts a bustling crowd gathered around the town hall, their faces reflecting a range of expressions. Men and women wave Belgian flags with fervent patriotism, their hearts filled with pride for their homeland. The atmosphere is electric, as victory is celebrated and hopes soar high. However, amidst this jubilation, there are also signs of disheartenment. Some individuals wear somber expressions or clasp their hands together anxiously. Perhaps they have lost loved ones or witnessed the devastating impact of war firsthand. Their emotions serve as a poignant reminder that even in moments of triumph, there can be profound sorrow. Belgium's resilience shines through this artwork; it symbolizes not only their victory but also their unwavering spirit during World War I. The composition beautifully captures the unity and strength that emerged from adversity. Achille Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday in August 1914 when news traveled slowly compared to today's instant updates. It serves as an enduring testament to Belgium's indomitable courage and stands as a powerful historical artifact.
