EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a village in Alsace during the tumultuous times of the First World War in 1914. The illustration, created by Jean-Jacques Waltz (Hansi), provides a glimpse into the contrasting realities experienced by this small community. On the left side, we witness August 10,1914, marking the day of French occupation. The streets are filled with soldiers and military presence as they navigate through the village's charming architecture. In stark contrast, on the right side of the image lies August 4,1914 - a day that signifies German occupation. Here we see an altered landscape with German troops patrolling amidst war-torn buildings and debris-strewn streets. This powerful visual representation encapsulates both sides of conflict within one frame. The engraving evokes emotions tied to sacrifice, resilience, and loss endured by those living in Alsace during this period. It serves as a poignant reminder of how war can drastically transform even idyllic villages like these. Preserved at Musee de la Ville de Paris - Musee Carnavalet in France, this historical artifact offers us insight into life during one of humanity's most devastating conflicts. Through its intricate details and artistic rendering, it transports us back to an era defined by turmoil while also honoring those who lived through it.
