EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Advertising board for Fromy cognac: a French soldier from 1815 and a furry from 1915,1916" by Adolphe Leon Willette, transports us back in time to the tumultuous periods of war and patriotism. The artwork serves as an allegory of France's resilience and unity during two significant conflicts - the war against Prussia in 1815 and the First World War (1914-1918). In this powerful image, we see a French soldier from the early nineteenth century standing side by side with a soldier from the twentieth century. The contrast between their military uniforms highlights the evolution of warfare over time. Yet despite their differences, they both symbolize unwavering loyalty to their country. The woman depicted in this lithograph represents France herself – strong-willed and determined. She stands tall as a symbol of national pride amidst these turbulent times. This advertising board was created to promote Fromy cognac, but it also serves as a poignant reminder of history's impact on society. Willette masterfully captures not only the historical context but also conveys emotions such as bravery, sacrifice, and patriotism through his artistry. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported into an era where wars were fought with honor and valor. It reminds us that even during dark times, there is always hope for unity and strength within nations.
