EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les fetes du 8 decembre 1918 a Metz; Un escadron feminin: jeunes filles montees sur les cheaux des dragons de l'escorte pour mieux voir les Presidents" (The Celebrations of December 8, 1918 in Metz: A Female Squadron: Young Girls Riding on the Horses of the Escort to Better See the Presidents), was taken in the aftermath of the First World War in the city of Metz, Lorraine, France. The image captures a group of young girls, dressed in fashionable clothing of the 1910s, proudly seated atop the horses of the military escort. The occasion for this joyful scene was the arrival of two prominent French politicians, Georges Clemenceau and Raymond Poincaré, who had come to Metz to celebrate the liberation of the city from German occupation. The girls' excited expressions and the playful poses convey a sense of national pride and patriotism, reflecting the collective relief and jubilation felt by the French people following the end of the war. The black and white image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, serves as a poignant reminder of the historic moment and the spirit of unity that prevailed during the postwar period.
