Its title, "Les Alsaciens et les Lorrains," names the two provinces Germany annexed from France after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871, and the picture dates to 1914, the year the two countries went to war again. Images like this circulated widely in France in the war's early months, when many people hoped to see Alsace and Lorraine returned to French rule. Such illustrations often used patriotic symbols and idealized figures to portray the regions as loyal French communities awaiting liberation, so they are worth reading as propaganda as much as a record of events.
