EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "German Legions" we are transported back to the tumultuous days of World War I, specifically to the Belgian capital of Brussels. The image captures a poignant moment as crowds gather in the rain-drenched Place Rogier, eagerly awaiting the arrival of German troops. Published in 1914 by Illustrated War News, this historic snapshot offers a glimpse into an era defined by conflict and occupation. The composition is masterfully captured by renowned photographer Henry Guttmann, whose collection has become synonymous with documenting significant moments throughout history. Through his lens, we witness the convergence of two worlds - that of occupied Belgium and the formidable German army marching through its streets. Despite being shrouded in rainfall, there is an undeniable energy emanating from both sides of this scene. On one hand, curiosity and apprehension fill the faces of those who have gathered; on the other hand, pride and determination radiate from each soldier's disciplined stride. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder not only of Europe's turbulent past but also highlights how war can disrupt everyday life for ordinary citizens caught in its wake. As we reflect upon this historical artifact from Fine Art Storehouse's vast collection, let us remember those affected by war while appreciating Guttmann's ability to capture such raw emotion within a single frame.
