EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful lithograph captures a moment of defiance and patriotism during the tumultuous years of World War I. The image depicts Alsatians, residents of an occupied town in France, pulling down flags that were put up by the occupying Germans to celebrate recent victories on the Russian Front. It is a symbolic act of resistance against the German occupation. The scene takes place at night, adding an air of secrecy and danger to the act. The darkness serves as a backdrop for these brave civilians who are determined to reclaim their town from foreign control. Their actions speak volumes about their unwavering loyalty to their country and their refusal to accept defeat. The lithograph beautifully portrays the spirit of unity and resilience that characterized this era. Despite being under German rule, these individuals find strength in each other and stand together in their mission to remove symbols of occupation. This image also serves as a reminder of how propaganda played a significant role during times of war. The flags erected by the Germans were meant to instill fear and showcase their military prowess, but instead they became targets for those who refused to be subdued. Overall, this lithograph captures a poignant moment in history where ordinary citizens become heroes through acts of resistance and defiance against oppression.
