EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic French poster from General Charles de Gaulle during World War II. The poster, signed by the esteemed general himself, carries a powerful message of resilience and hope to all French people amidst the turmoil of war. Taken circa 1940, when France had just suffered a devastating loss in battle, this iconic image reminds us that despite setbacks, France has not lost the war. It symbolizes the unwavering spirit of nationalism and determination that characterized the French resistance during those difficult times. The poster is prominently displayed against a backdrop of lush green gardens at Carlton House Terrace in London, where General de Gaulle was based during his exile. The tricolore flag proudly flutters above him as he addresses his compatriots with an inspiring proclamation: "Long live France!" This photograph captures not only an important historical artifact but also serves as a reminder of the indomitable human spirit in times of adversity. It represents freedom and unity under one nation's flag while honoring those who fought for their country's independence. As we reflect on this poignant moment frozen in time, let us remember the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War II and pay tribute to their courage and resilience.
