EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in world history as the Allied leaders, including President Woodrow Wilson of the United States, arrive in Paris on December 14, 1918, following the end of the First World War. The image, titled "Les chefs d'état Allies a Paris; Defile sur la place de la Concorde," was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The black and white image showcases an impressive procession of horse-drawn carriages and vehicles making their way through the grand Place de la Concorde, with the iconic Luxor Obelisk standing proudly in the background. The crowd of people, both French and Allied, line the streets, eagerly watching the victorious leaders arrive. Among them is President Wilson, riding in an open carriage, waving to the cheering crowd. This photograph offers a glimpse into the postwar atmosphere of Paris, as the city celebrated the arrival of the Allied leaders and the promise of a new era of peace. The image is a poignant reminder of the significant role President Wilson played in shaping the international political landscape following the First World War, and the enduring symbolism of the City of Light as a beacon of hope and unity in the aftermath of conflict.
