EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a powerful piece of history and imagination. In the center, we see a young girl standing proudly, holding a flag with the coat of arms of Alsace, symbolizing her connection to this region in France. Surrounding her are various elements that tell an allegorical story. On one side stands a winged horse, representing freedom and liberation. Its presence suggests that despite the hardships faced by Alsace during war times, hope and resilience prevail. On the other side is an eagle, symbolizing Germany's influence over the region throughout history. The artist behind this enchanting engraving is Jean-Jacques Waltz dit Hansi (1873-1951), also known as Uncle Hansi. Through his work, he aimed to educate children about their heritage while promoting peace and unity between France and Germany. The image beautifully combines historical references with imaginary characters to create an engaging narrative for both young and old alike. It serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between these two nations while emphasizing the importance of freedom and unity in overcoming adversity. This early 20th-century artwork holds great significance not only for its artistic value but also for its portrayal of French culture and Germanic influences in Alsace. It invites us to reflect on our shared European history while celebrating our differences as well.
