Love of the Flag, 1898
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a poignant moment in history. The artist F Meaulle skillfully depicts a scene of love, patriotism, and respect for one's country. In this color illustration from Le Petit Journal on December 25th, 1898, we find ourselves in a bedroom where an ill Caucasian man lies on his deathbed. Despite his deteriorating health and weakened state, he clings tightly to the tricolour flag of France. This act symbolizes his unwavering devotion to his homeland even in his final moments. Dressed in military uniform, it becomes evident that he has fought valiantly for his country during times of war. The room is filled with emotion as those surrounding him weep at the sight before them. The engraving beautifully captures their sorrow and admiration for this dying soldier's sacrifice. Every detail within this artwork speaks volumes about love for one's nation and the profound impact it can have on individuals. This print serves as a reminder of the power behind national pride and how it can inspire acts of bravery and selflessness even amidst illness or impending death. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit that flags represent - unity, strength, and loyalty to our countries throughout history.
