Leaving Paris 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph capturing the mass exodus of people departing from the Gare du Nord train station in Paris, following the outbreak of World War I. The image, taken in 1914, depicts a sea of individuals, young and old, carrying their belongings and waving goodbye to loved ones, as they board trains bound for England. The First World War, which began on July 28, 1914, brought about a significant shift in the lives of millions of people across Europe. In the early days of the conflict, the French government, fearing an imminent German invasion, evacuated the capital city and relocated to Bordeaux. This mass movement of people, including civilians, military personnel, and government officials, created a chaotic scene at train stations like Gare du Nord. The photograph "Leaving Paris 1914" offers a glimpse into this historical moment, showcasing the determination and resilience of those leaving behind their homes and loved ones in search of safety and security. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the displacement and upheaval it brings. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document that offers insight into a pivotal moment in world history. It is a poignant reminder of the events that unfolded during the early days of World War I and the impact it had on the lives of millions of people. The photograph is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for educational and research use only through Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a testament to the power of historical imagery to transport us back in time and provide a deeper understanding of the past.
