Abstract / Description of output
Examines the output of visual and material culture produced in France in the wake of the traumatic annexation of the area called Alsace-Lorraine by the German Empire at the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, and argues that it was the decorative arts, designers and architects in Nancy, in Lorraine in eastern France, who were principally responsible for keeping the memory of the 'lost provinces' alive between 1885-1914 so that during World War I their recapture could be used as a rallying cry for the French war effort.
