EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the solemn and formal atmosphere of a Recruitment by Lot ceremony in France during the early 1900s. Every able-bodied Frenchman aged 20 and above was liable for military service, and the annual public event in each canton served as the means of selecting conscripts through a lottery system. The scene unfolds in an open-air setting, with a large crowd gathered around as a young man draws a slip from an earthenware urn. The expression on his face is a mixture of apprehension and relief, as the outcome of the draw would determine his fate for the coming year. The ceremony was a significant moment in the lives of these young men and their families, and the formal proceedings underscored the importance of military service in French society at the time. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of military conscription in France and the impact it had on individuals and their communities. The annual event was a public spectacle, with the entire canton coming together to witness the drawing of lots and to offer their support and encouragement to the young men who were selected. The photograph, taken circa 1900, is a valuable historical record of this important aspect of French military and social history. It offers a glimpse into the past and provides insight into the lives of ordinary French men and their experiences during a time of military conscription.
