EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures French artillery officer Robert Georges Nivelle at Noyon, between c1915 and 1918. General Nivelle, who served in both the Boxer Rebellion and World War I, exudes a sense of authority and confidence as he stands with his hand casually tucked into his coat pocket.
Nivelle's impressive military career saw him succeed Philippe Pétain as commander of the French Second Army during the Battle of Verdun in May 1916. His leadership skills and strategic prowess were instrumental in shaping the course of history during this tumultuous period.
The image showcases Nivelle's impeccable uniform, complete with a stylish kepi hat and overcoat that reflect the fashion sensibilities of early 20th-century military attire. The backdrop of the historic town of Noyon adds to the timeless quality of this portrait.

This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and honors those who dedicated their lives to defending freedom and justice.
