EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history as the people of Paris gather to pay homage to General Joseph Gallieni, the savior of their beloved city during the First Battle of the Marne in 1914. The image, a color lithograph by Eugene Damblans, showcases the deep gratitude and sorrow felt by the French nation following Gallieni's death in 1916. In this scene from Le Petit Journal dated June 18th, 1916, we witness a powerful display of patriotism and respect. A woman lies in state before an ornate coffin draped with the tricolor flag of France. Surrounding her are mournful citizens dressed in military uniforms, laying wreaths at her feet. The atmosphere is one of somber reflection as tombstones and crypts serve as reminders of lives lost during World War I. The image not only pays tribute to General Gallieni but also serves as propaganda for the war effort. It symbolizes unity and resilience amidst great adversity while highlighting France's unwavering determination to defend its homeland. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when Parisians came together to honor their fallen hero. It reminds us that even in times of darkness and grief, humanity has an incredible capacity for gratitude and solidarity. This historic snapshot immortalizes both a man who fought valiantly for his country and a nation forever grateful for his sacrifice.
