Les Nerfs des Foules; A Paris, le financier autrichien Rosenberg, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a compelling photograph by Jean Clair-Guyot that captures the tense atmosphere of Paris during the early days of World War I. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" by L'Illustration in 1924, depicts a well-dressed Austrian financier, identified as Rosenberg, descending a series of steps in the heart of the city. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of the 1910s, with Rosenberg dressed in a formal suit and hat, carrying a cane, and wearing a white shirt and black bowtie. His attire contrasts sharply with the somber mood of the scene, as the crowd of Parisians behind him appears anxious and restless, their faces etched with concern and uncertainty. The title of the photograph, "Les Nerfs des Foules," translates to "The Nerves of the Crowd," and suggests the palpable sense of unease and apprehension that had taken hold of the city in the lead-up to the war. The image captures the moment of transition from peacetime to wartime, with the financier's calm and collected demeanor standing in stark contrast to the turbulent emotions of the crowd. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the complex web of international relations that contributed to the outbreak of war. Rosenberg's Austrian nationality would have made him a target for French suspicion and hostility, highlighting the tensions between the various European powers that ultimately led to the conflict. Overall, "Les Nerfs des Foules; A Paris, le financier autrichien Rosenberg, 1914" is a powerful and evocative image that captures the mood of a city on the brink of war, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and social dynamics of the early 20th century.
