EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les Heures Triomphales: La premiere fete, le 20 octobre 1918; sur la place de l'Hotel-de-Ville: autour d'un pylone, des trophées pris à l'ennemi" (The Triumphal Hours: The First Feast, October 20, 1918; on the Place of the Hotel-de-Ville: Around a Pylon, of Trophies Taken from the Enemy), showcases a joyous celebration in Paris, France, marking the end of the First World War on October 20, 1918. The image, created by an unknown artist, was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph depicts a bustling crowd of people gathered around the Hotel de Ville, the historic town hall of Paris, located in the heart of the city. In the center of the square, a pylon stands tall, adorned with various trophies and weapons captured from the German army during the war. Soldiers, proud and victorious, are seen posing with their comrades, their faces reflecting a sense of relief and jubilation. The atmosphere is filled with an overwhelming sense of patriotism and triumph, as the French people celebrate their liberation from the ongoing conflict on the Western Front. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the end of the First World War and the collective joy and relief that came with it. The image captures the essence of a nation coming together to celebrate their victory and the return of peace, making it an invaluable piece of historical documentation.
