EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the jubilant atmosphere of the Victory Celebrations in Liege, Belgium, in 1919. In the image, an alderman of Liege proudly presents the Golden Cushion, upon which French President Poincare had pinned the Legion of Honor medal, to the adoring crowd. The scene is filled with a sense of national pride and unity as the people of Belgium and their Allied counterparts from France celebrate the end of the First World War. The photograph, titled "Les fetes de la victoire en Belgique; un des echevins de Liege presente a la foule le coussin d'or, sur lequel M Poincare a epingle la croix de la Legion d'honneur," was created by renowned French photographer Jean Clair-Guyot and published in the album "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The image is filled with intriguing details, including the dignified figure of the alderman, the decorative medal, and the crowd of men, women, and children, all dressed in their Sunday best. Notable figures in the crowd include King Leopold III of Belgium, Marie José, Queen Consort of Umberto II of Italy, and Henriette Benucci, who is believed to be the woman standing next to the alderman. The location of the photograph is Place St. Lambert in Liege, Wallonia, Belgium. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the peace and unity that followed the devastating First World War, and the sense of hope and celebration that came with the end of the conflict.
