Long Live the Army! - A Symbol of Patriotism and Colonial Endeavors
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Long live the army!" by Eugene Damblans captures a significant moment in history during the Boxer Rebellion. The image showcases French troops departing from Marseille, France, on their way to China to fight against this uprising. Published in Le Petit Journal on August 26,1900, it exudes an air of enthusiasm and patriotism. The scene is filled with vibrant tricolour flags waving proudly as soldiers march towards troopships waiting at port. The atmosphere is electric with crowds gathered to bid farewell to their brave compatriots. As they cheer and show unwavering support for their armed forces, one cannot help but feel inspired by the collective spirit of unity. This powerful visual representation not only reflects the fervent nationalism prevalent during that era but also highlights France's colonial ambitions. It serves as a reminder of Europe's involvement in global conflicts and its determination to protect its interests abroad. Damblans' artwork encapsulates both the excitement and apprehension surrounding military departures. Through his skilful use of color lithography, he brings life to this historical event while evoking a sense of pride among viewers. "Long Live the Army!" stands as a testament to the courage and sacrifice exhibited by these soldiers who embarked on a perilous journey far from home. It immortalizes their dedication towards upholding national values while shedding light on complex themes such as imperialism and international conflict.
