EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic moment of President Tomas Masaryk's entrance into Prague, the capital city of Czechoslovakia, on December 25, 1918. Following the end of the First World War, Masaryk, who had led the Czechoslovak National Council in exile during the conflict, returned to his homeland to assume the presidency. His arrival was met with great fanfare, as evidenced in this image. Masaryk's automobile, escorted by Czechoslovak legionnaires who had fought on the Western, Italian, and Eastern fronts, makes its way down a bustling street towards Wenceslas Square. The president is greeted with jubilant salutations from his fellow combatants and political allies, including Clement Simon, the French Minister. The scene is one of triumph and unity, as the people of Czechoslovakia celebrate their newfound independence and the end of a long and arduous war. The photograph, titled "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" and published by Pragaphot in Paris in 1924, is a testament to the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It captures a pivotal moment in history, as a new nation emerges from the ashes of war and embarks on the journey towards peace and prosperity.
