EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a score sheet for the powerful anti-German propaganda song, "Ce qu'ils veulent nous prendre" (The land they want to take from us). Created in 1882 by an anonymous French School artist, this color lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of the lasting impact of the Franco-Prussian war. The image depicts a map featuring Alsace-Lorraine, a territory that became highly contested during this period. The borders are highlighted with great significance, symbolizing the conflict and tension between France and Prussia. The lyrics, penned by Villemer Delormel, evoke patriotism and defiance against German aggression. The score sheet itself is beautifully adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors. It represents not only a piece of music but also acts as a historical artifact reflecting the sentiments of its time. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been preserved in eArchives Charmet. As we delve into this artwork's rich history, it becomes evident that it holds immense cultural value. Its existence reminds us of how art can be used as both an expression of national identity and as a tool for political messaging. Through this photograph print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where tensions ran high along borders while patriotic fervor fueled resistance against perceived threats to one's homeland.
