EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the jubilant atmosphere of the Victory Celebrations in Paris following the end of the First World War on 14th July 1919. The scene unfolds at the Cenotaph, a monument erected in memory of those who lost their lives during the conflict. In the foreground, a delegation from Alsace-Lorraine, regions that had been under German rule but were now returned to France, proudly marches towards the monument, waving the French flag and carrying banners. The Parisian crowd, filled with a sense of patriotism and relief, cheers and applauds, creating a sea of red, white, and blue. The historical significance of this moment is palpable, as the end of the Great War marked the beginning of a new era for Europe and the world. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the joy that came with the long-awaited peace.
