EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured photo print, titled "Position D Attente Avant le Combat" captures a poignant moment in French military history. Taken by an anonymous 19th-century French photographer, this image showcases the anticipation and tension experienced by soldiers before going into battle. The composition portrays a group of French soldiers in their service en campagne uniforms, standing together in a position d'attente (waiting position). Their faces reveal a mix of determination and apprehension as they mentally prepare for the imminent combat ahead. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration for the Album Militaire by B Poussot & Valadon around 1900. It offers viewers a glimpse into the reality faced by infantry troops during wartime. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of French culture and military forces. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by these soldiers who fought to defend their country's values and territories. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece is now made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its vibrant colours and attention to detail make it an exceptional addition to any art enthusiast's collection or anyone interested in exploring France's rich military heritage.
