French medallic celebration of the end of the First World War by Lucien Cariat (1874-1925). The use of conventional
allegoric motifs does little to conceal the confident triumphalist tone of the piece and is in marked contrast to the Elizabeth von Esseö's
commemoration of the German defeat, 'Pax 1919' (see MED 1057). | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Allegory peace / victory celebrations French Home Front & Peace Celebrations & (?) 1918 First World War | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Cariat, Lucien | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
