EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, this evocative image of a triumphant French Cockerel standing over a defeated German Black Eagle serves as a potent symbol of national pride and the hope for victory. The year is 1914, and the early morning light of a new day breaks over the battlefield, casting long shadows and illuminating the scene with a ethereal glow. The French Cockerel, personifying the spirit of France, stands proudly atop a mound, its fiery gaze fixed on the vanquished foe before it. The German Black Eagle, emblematic of the powerful and feared German military, lies prostrate at the cockerel's feet, its wings spread helplessly as it clutches a German fur busby adorned with Totenkopf symbols - a chilling reminder of the grim realities of war. This powerful image, with its striking contrasts of light and dark, triumph and defeat, was likely used as a propaganda tool to boost morale and inspire the people of France in their struggle against their formidable enemy. The sunrise serves as a symbol of hope and renewal, and the victorious cockerel stands as a beacon of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
