EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the illustrious General de Castelnau, depicted on the front cover of Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre on October 17th, 1915. The vibrant color lithograph, created by a talented French School artist from the 20th century, exudes an air of authority and dignity. General Noel Edouard Marie Joseph de Castelnau, Vicomte de Curieres (1851-1944), is portrayed in a laurel-adorned oval frame. His head and shoulders emerge confidently from his military uniform as he gazes into the distance with steely determination. A wreath encircles him, symbolizing his great achievements and valor. With his distinguished moustache and numerous medals proudly displayed on his chest, General de Castelnau embodies the essence of a seasoned commander. As one of France's most revered military figures during World War I, he played a crucial role in defending Alsace-Lorraine against enemy forces. The aged appearance adds to the gravitas of this portrait; it serves as a poignant reminder that even in old age, General de Castelnau remains an indomitable force. This image gracing Le Petit Journal's front cover captures not only his remarkable presence but also pays homage to his significant contributions to history. As we delve into this piece of artistry preserved within private collections today, we are transported back to an era defined by conflict and resilience. It stands as both a testament to General de Castelnau
