EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Arrival of General Pershing; The General and His Officers Listening to the Marseillaise), 1917, is a captivating photograph that captures a significant moment during the First World War. The image, from the French publication "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, depicts General John J. Pershing (1860-1948) of the United States Army, dressed in full military uniform, stepping out of a carriage with his officers. The scene unfolds on the European soil, with the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise," playing in the background. Pershing, who served as the Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), is shown in the photograph with his hand raised in a salute, while his officers stand attentively beside him, also saluting. The image encapsulates the international relations and political dynamics of the time, as Pershing's arrival marked a pivotal moment in the war effort, with the United States joining the Allied forces against the Central Powers. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of the era, with Pershing and his officers donning traditional military uniforms, complete with high-boots and carriage boots, and the men wearing dress uniforms with distinct lapels and collars. The image also highlights the concept of music as a unifying force, with the Marseillaise serving as a symbol of French patriotism and unity during the war. Overall, "L'Arrivee du General Pershing; Le général et ses officiers ecoutant la Marseillaise" is a powerful and evocative image that captures the spirit of the First World War and the international cooperation that defined it. The photograph remains an important historical document, offering valuable insights into the military, political, and cultural landscape of the early 20th century.
