"Meuse 55: A Glimpse into the Devastation of World War I" Step back in time to the First World War, where the haunting remnants of barricades built in Verdun still stand as a testament to the fierce battles fought in 1914. In "The Mirror" of 1916, one can catch a glimpse of French soldiers entrenched in Verdun, their weary faces reflecting the tolls of war. "The Ravine of Death in Verdun" paints a vivid picture of ruins and ashes that engulfed this once-thriving landscape after intense battles. Ferdinand Joseph Gueldry's masterpiece from 1916 captures the desolation and destruction that befell Paris during these tumultuous times. Amidst this chaos, "Les Beers de la Meuse, " an Art Deco advertisement, offers respite with its vibrant colors and lively depiction. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war, life goes on. In another scene etched into history by "Le Petit Journal Illustre, " we witness a sentinel defending the Citadel of Verdun under attack while finding wounded comrades on the ground. This engraving from May 26th, 1929 evokes both bravery and sorrow. Paul Thiriat's watercolor showcases a counterattack launched by French forces in Vaux village during 1916's frontlines at Verdun. The painting brings to life their courage and determination against all odds. Traveling further back through time reveals an atlas illustrating maps from Lorraine - France and its Colonies dating back to 1876. Meticulously crafted by M. Vuillemin, these maps offer insights into military strategies employed during those turbulent years. Allard, Guichard, Richard – names forever etched in memory for witnessing Coots of Morillon arriving with thousands of fighters ready for battle. Their presence signifies unity amidst adversity.
