EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant moment of the departure of occupying forces from France in 1818. The print, titled "Occupying Forces Depart," offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in European history following the Napoleonic Wars. The French army, having been defeated and exiled, can be seen here making their way out of Paris, leaving behind a city and a population that had endured years of turmoil and hardship. The print, produced in the late 19th century, offers a visual representation of the relief and jubilation felt by the French people as they bid farewell to their occupiers. Soldiers, many of them weary and disheveled, can be seen packing their belongings and preparing to move on. Civilians line the streets, waving handkerchiefs and cheering as they pass. The sun sets in the background, casting a golden glow over the scene and symbolizing the hope for a new beginning. The event depicted in this print marks the end of a long and arduous period of foreign occupation and the start of a new era for France. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity, and the importance of freedom and self-determination. The print, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the political and social climate of Europe during the 19th century. It is a testament to the power of visual storytelling and the enduring impact of historical events on our collective memory.
