EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print commemorates a pivotal moment in World War I history: the French reclamation of Alsace from German occupation on the 3rd of January, 1915. The illustration masterfully employs the well-known fairytale of Sleeping Beauty to represent the event. In this rendition, Alsace is depicted as the enchantedly-slumbering Sleeping Beauty, her once-beautiful lands encased in the thorned walls of barbed wire and daggers cast by the Germans. A French soldier, determined and resolute, charges forward, his bayonet fixed to his rifle. He battles through the thorned walls, overcoming the relentless enemy, the German soldier, who stands guard. The French soldier's unwavering courage and unyielding spirit represent the collective will of the French troops to reclaim their land and break the spell cast over Alsace. The scene is set on the battlefield, with the ground torn apart by the clash of arms and the cacophony of gunfire in the background. The French soldier's comrades stand ready, their rifles at the ready, providing support as they launch their attack. The German soldiers, though formidable, are no match for the French troops' unyielding determination and bravery. This powerful and poignant illustration serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the French soldiers and their unwavering commitment to reclaiming their land during the tumultuous events of World War I. The date of the 3rd of January, 1915, is etched in history as a day of French success and triumph against the German occupation of Alsace.
