EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General Piegne, a prominent figure in French history during the late 19th century. The portrait, taken by renowned artist Pierre Petit around 1893, presents the general in a side view, wearing his distinctive spectacles and military uniform. General Piegne's face reflects determination and wisdom as he gazes away from the camera. His neatly groomed moustache adds to his authoritative presence. The details of his jacket with epaulettes highlight his high rank within the army. The monochrome aesthetic of this photograph transports us back to an era when France was undergoing significant political changes. This image captures not only the individuality of General Piegne but also represents an entire generation of soldiers who fought for their country. Displayed on a cigarette card from Felix Potin's collection, this print serves as both a historical artifact and a work of art. It reminds us of the importance of preserving our past through visual documentation. As we admire this portrait, we are transported to another time - Victorian France - where men like General Piegne played crucial roles in shaping their nation's destiny. Through this photograph, we can appreciate the dedication and sacrifice that these individuals made for their country while honoring their memory as part of our shared heritage.
