EDITORS COMMENTS
Georges Bertin Scott's captivating photograph "Les Drapeaux blancs de l'Allemagne: Arrivée des plénipotentiaires allemands aux premières lignes françaises, près de Haudroy, sur la route de La Capelle a Rocquigny (Nord), le jeudi 7 novembre 1918, à 21 heures" (The White Flags of Germany: The Arrival of German Plenipotentiaries at the French Frontlines, near Haudroy, on the Road to La Capelle a Rocquigny, Nord, on Thursday, 7 November 1918, at 9 pm) is a poignant and historic image from the First World War. The photograph, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, documents the moment of surrender as German plenipotentiaries approached the French frontlines under the cover of night, bearing white flags. In the foreground, Captain Lhuillier, who had the honor of receiving the first envoys of the defeated enemy, is depicted standing in the middle of the road, his arm raised in a gesture of acceptance. The image captures the concept of conflict and surrender, as well as the passage of time and the role of the military during wartime. The photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the event and the courage and determination of the soldiers involved. The image is also a reminder of the Western Front and the impact of the First World War on Europe and the world. Georges Bertin Scott, also known as Georges Scott de Pagnolle or Scott de Plagnolles, was a renowned French photographer who captured many historic moments during the First World War. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images and is a must-have for anyone interested in military history, the First World War, or the history of photography.
