Repose Un Soldat Francais Mort Pour la Patrie 1914-1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Rest in Peace, A French Soldier Died for the Fatherland 1914-1918) is a poignant and symbolic black and white lithograph depicting the fallen soldier of the French army during the First World War. The exact creator of this powerful image remains unknown, but it was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The print captures the solemnity and reverence of the post-war era, as the soldier lies in rest, his helmet and rifle by his side, under the watchful gaze of the moon and stars. The inscription on the tomb, "Mort pour la France" (Died for France), adds to the profound sense of sacrifice and honor. The image is a testament to the enduring impact of the First World War on France and the world, and the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike. The print serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of peace and the price paid for its preservation. The location of the tomb is not specified, but the image evokes the somber atmosphere of a mausoleum or a cemetery, where the fallen soldier is remembered and honored for his sacrifice. The print invites us to reflect on the concept of sacrifice and the passing of time, as the soldier's fallen form lies in eternal rest, while the world moves on. The print is a valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of the First World War, the 1910s and 1920s, and the armed forces and armed services of France. Its monochromatic palette adds to its timeless and evocative quality, making it a powerful and moving piece of art and historical record.
