Courage Civique; 20 aout 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative photograph from the early days of the First World War. The image, which is believed to have been taken in Brussels, Belgium, captures the moment of defiance and bravery in the face of the German invasion. The photograph shows a group of Belgian civilians, led by Adolphe Max, the Mayor of Brussels, standing in front of a barricade made of cobblestones and furniture. Max, dressed in a suit and hat, is seen addressing the crowd with a determined expression on his face. The other men in the group are also dressed in civilian clothing, and some are brandishing makeshift weapons, such as sticks and pipes. The scene is one of stark contrasts - the photograph captures the somber mood of the moment, while the defiant posture of the civilians and the determination in their eyes shines through. The barricade, which is the only thing separating the civilians from the advancing German army, adds to the sense of tension and danger. The photograph was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" by L'Illustration, a French publication based in Paris. The exact location and circumstances of the photograph are unknown, but it is believed to have been taken during the early days of the German occupation of Belgium. The photograph is a testament to the courage and resilience of the Belgian people in the face of overwhelming adversity. Adolphe Max, who was born on October 15, 1866, went on to become a prominent figure in Belgian politics and served as the Prime Minister of Belgium from 1935 to 1936. He passed away on February 22, 1939. The photograph remains an enduring symbol of the courage and defiance of the Belgian people during the First World War.
