Description
The text contrasts, on the former battlefields of 1870, the noisy celebration of Prussian victories, with the discreet honor paid by Alsatians to their dead. The image contrasts the Gallic cockerel atop the French war memorial with the nebulous phantasmagoria of a German cavalcade crossing the sky.
