Hurt Journal Marseille Petit Received Persons Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving, titled "France. 3rd Republic (1901). French soldiers hurt are received in Marseille," depicts a poignant moment in French history during the early 20th century. The image, published in the French newspaper "Le Petit Journal" on February 17, 1901, captures the compassionate response of the people of Marseille as they welcome and care for injured French soldiers. The scene unfolds on the upper right corner of the print, with a group of uniformed men being assisted by civilians, their faces etched with concern and determination. The soldiers, bearing the physical scars of battle, lean on crutches or are carried on the backs of their comrades. The color palette is dominated by muted tones of brown and gray, reflecting the somber mood of the moment. The 3rd French Republic, which lasted from 1870 to 1940, was marked by numerous military conflicts, both colonial and European. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the French military during this period and the unwavering support of the civilian population. The title "received in Marseille" suggests that these soldiers have returned from a distant battlefield, and the people of Marseille, with open arms, welcome them home. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds of the soldiers' uniforms to the expressions on their faces, bring the scene to life, making it a powerful testament to the resilience and unity of the French people during a time of conflict.
