EDITORS COMMENTS
(In Honor of America): A Historic Moment in Paris, 1917 This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in history as it depicts a large crowd gathered in Paris' Place de la Concorde, around the statue of George Washington on April 22, 1917. The occasion marks the singing of both the American national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," by French opera singer Nina May, and the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise," by M. Note. The image is a poignant representation of the strong bonds between France and the United States during World War I. The event took place just a few months before the United States officially entered the war, and the unity and camaraderie displayed in this photograph reflect the shared values and mutual support between the two nations. The photograph is part of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2," published by L'Illustration, a renowned French weekly magazine. The image, created by Desgranges, offers a unique glimpse into the political and patriotic atmosphere of the time, as well as the cultural exchange that took place between France and the United States during the war. The statue of George Washington, located in the heart of Paris, stands as a symbol of the enduring friendship between the two nations. The image of the crowd, with its diverse mix of men, women, and children, underscores the shared experience of war and the powerful impact it had on people's lives. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the First World War and the strong bonds that were forged between nations during this time. It serves as a reminder of the power of unity, patriotism, and the enduring spirit of resilience in the face of adversity.
