To General Gallieni--Fluctuat nec mergitur [Tossed around but still afloat--the motto of the city of Paris since the 12th century]
Maurice NeumontGravure, 1914
Part of a series by Maurice Neumont entitled 1914!, this engraving personifies Paris as a woman fighter defying the enemy from a bastion. The city's slogan was a perfect illustration of its spirit of resistance.
