EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Deliverance of Alsace and Lorraine Celebrated in Paris on November 17, 1918) is a poignant photograph capturing a historic moment in French history. The image, from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, depicts a joyous procession of Alsatian girls making their way down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées towards the Arc de Triomphe. The First World War had ended just weeks earlier, and the people of France were celebrating the liberation of Alsace and Lorraine, regions that had been under German control since 1871. The girls, dressed in their finest apparel, are leading the way, their faces filled with excitement and pride. The crowd behind them is a sea of people, all wearing patriotic colors and expressions of jubilation. The Arc de Triomphe, a symbol of French military victory and national pride, looms in the background. The monument, adorned with the French tricolor flag, stands as a testament to the country's victories and the end of the war. The Avenue des Champs-Élysées, one of Paris' most famous streets, is filled with people, creating a vibrant and celebratory atmosphere. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the end of a long and devastating war and the hope and optimism that came with the return of peace. The image of the young Alsatian girls leading the way symbolizes the renewal and rebirth of a country and its people. The photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of the French people and their love for their country. The creator of the photograph is unknown, but the image remains a significant historical document, capturing a moment of triumph and celebration in French history. The photograph is a reminder of the power of unity, hope, and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
