image: French General Joseph Joffre (1852-1931) stands at the centre of the image, holding hands with child-like
personifications of Alsace, to his right, and Lorraine, to his left. Both Alsace and Lorraine are clothed in their respective regional
costumes, and both are holding tricolores. The image is bordered with roses in full bloom, a signifier of the liberation to
come.
