EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print titled "Poste D Examen" transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a significant moment in French military history. Taken by an anonymous French photographer, this image showcases a scene from the Album Militaire, published around 1900 by B Poussot & Valadon. The photograph depicts a Poste D Examen, or examination post, where soldiers of the French forces undergo medical evaluations during their service en campagne (in the field). The soldiers stand tall and proud in their infantry uniforms as they await their turn for examination. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the dedication and commitment of these brave men who served their country. The composition is rich with historical context and cultural significance. It provides us with insight into not only the military practices of France but also its colonial reach through references to overseas departments and territories. The attention to detail in this photograph highlights both the artistry of early photography techniques and its documentary value. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how photography can capture moments frozen in time. It allows us to appreciate and reflect on our past while honoring those who have dedicated themselves to serving our nations.
