Charles Freger: Souvenir D'Alsace

 https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/souvenir-d-alsace/

 from his website:

“Souvenir d’Alsace” explores the inner workings of an iconography built, over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and three successive wars, on the close interweaving of picturesque representation and national propaganda.

Charles Fréger draws on historical references borrowed from imagery, illustration, press drawings, manufactured objects and works of historical commemoration. Alsace thus becomes a field for experimentation with these objects of vernacular culture and the mechanisms by which these representations are disseminated.
