EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard, dating back to 1915, captures the powerful image of the Artillery Gun as the embodiment of justice during World War I. The French title at the bottom reads, "Il représente la Justice - Et l'Ennemi à mort," which translates to "He represents Justice - and puts the Enemy to death." The gun, dressed in an ermine-trimmed robe, personifies the idea of justice meted out on the battlefield. The artillery piece, a symbol of the French military might, stands tall and resolute against the backdrop of the war-torn landscape. The gun's barrel, pointed towards the sky, symbolizes the determination and unwavering resolve of the French forces to defend their homeland and uphold justice. The image is a poignant reminder of the patriotic fervor that fueled the French resistance during the First World War. The gun, with its heavy presence and unyielding stance, is a testament to the belief that justice would prevail, no matter the cost. This powerful and evocative image continues to resonate with us today, as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and the enduring spirit of those who fought for a just cause.
