EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the return of Alsace region to France in 1919. The image showcases three distinguished French World War One generals, Gouraud, Castelnau, and Hirschauer. These brave men played pivotal roles in reclaiming the territory that had been lost to Germany during the Franco-Prussian War from 1871 to 1918. The portrait exudes strength and determination as these military leaders stand side by side, their expressions reflecting both pride and relief. Their uniforms are adorned with medals, symbolizing their valor on the battlefield. The illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the power dynamics at play during this tumultuous period. The Treaty of Versailles marked a turning point for Alsace, leading to its rightful cession from Germany back to France. This transfer was not merely political but held deep emotional significance for both nations involved. Through this photograph, we glimpse into a momentous chapter in European history when borders were redrawn and national identities redefined. It is a testament to the resilience of individuals like Gouraud, Castelnau, and Hirschauer who fought tirelessly for their homeland's liberation. As viewers engage with this powerful image print by Jean-Jacques Waltz (Hansi), they are transported back in time - witnessing an emblematic victory that forever changed the course of Alsace's destiny within Europe.
