EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment from the First World War in France, depicting a drawing of 'the Lion' symbol of the city of Belfort defiantly keeping the territory in 1916. The inscription 'On ne passe' (They shall not pass) adds to the sense of determination and resilience portrayed in this image.
The lion, with its fierce gaze and majestic mane, stands as a symbol of strength and courage during a time of great turmoil and conflict. As one looks at this drawing, they can almost feel the intensity and bravery emanating from this iconic figure.
The intricate details in this engraving showcase the artist's skill in capturing both the ferocity and nobility of the lion. From its tawny coat to its piercing eyes, every aspect is meticulously rendered to convey a sense of pride and defiance.
In a war where every inch of territory was fiercely contested, this image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought to defend their homeland. It is a testament to the indomitable spirit that prevailed amidst chaos and destruction.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured in art, let us honor all those who bravely stood their ground against adversity, just like 'the Lion' symbolized here for Belfort during World War I.
