EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Sword of a Brave Man" we are transported back to the early 20th century, where the story of Captain Fiegenschuh's father unfolds. The front cover illustration from Le Petit Journal, supplement illustre, dated 8th March 1914, showcases a poignant scene that encapsulates heroism and sacrifice. The image portrays an Alsacian family gathered in their humble interior. A brave soldier's sword takes center stage as it is handed over to Captain Fiegenschuh's father. This relic represents the memory of a fallen hero who gave his life for France. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring life to every detail - from the traditional costumes adorned with bows and ribbons to the ceramic stove providing warmth in this somber moment. As sorrow fills their hearts, grief is palpable on each face present. A blind man sits solemnly while others stand nearby, paying homage to their lost loved one. The female figure leans forward tenderly, kissing her hand before touching the hilt of the sword with reverence. This powerful image speaks volumes about patriotism and colonialism during that era. It serves as a reminder of those who made ultimate sacrifices for their country and highlights both pride and mourning intertwined within French society at that time. Through this historical photograph print by Fine Art Finder via www. bridgemanart. com, we are granted a glimpse into history - capturing not only bravery but also human emotions in its purest form.
