This print takes us back a hundred years to the Ecole Polytechnique at the Barriere du Trone in Paris. The image, captured as a back cover illustration for Le Petit Journal on 29th March 1914, showcases the brave and courageous students of this prestigious institution. In their military uniforms, these young men embody both scholar and soldier. With helmets donned and wounds visible, they stand proudly with bayonets fixed and guns aimed, ready to defend their city against any threat. The tricolor flag waves defiantly above them as they fight valiantly on cobblestone streets. The scene is one of urban warfare; a battle fought not only for victory but also for patriotism and love of country. These students-turned-soldiers are determined to protect their beloved France from harm during times of war.
