EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "France: peaceful but resolved to be respected" captures the essence of French patriotism and national pride. Created by the French School in the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases a powerful allegory of France's commitment to peace while being prepared for any threat. The image portrays a resolute figure representing Marianne, the symbol of France, holding a sword with determination and strength. The symbolism behind this artwork is clear - France desires peace but will not hesitate to defend itself when necessary. It serves as a reminder that although peace is cherished, respect from others must also be earned. Published in Le Petit Journal on March 16th, 1913, this piece was undoubtedly intended as propaganda during an era marked by heightened nationalism and defense preparations. The artist skillfully combines elements of French culture and history into one cohesive composition. Through vibrant colors and intricate details, this print evokes both tranquility and readiness simultaneously. It encapsulates the spirit of France's resolve to protect its interests at home and abroad – including its overseas departments and territories. Displayed here courtesy of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this photograph print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon France's historical journey towards maintaining peace while commanding respect on the global stage.
