EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les Premiers coups de canon; Le Voivode Putnik, 25-27 juillet 1914," is a powerful and poignant reminder of the onset of the First World War. Created by the renowned Russian photographer S. Chernov for the French publication "L'Illustration" in 1924, this image is part of the collection "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I." The photograph captures Field Marshal Radomir Putnik, the Serbian commander-in-chief, seated at a wooden desk, deep in thought as he contemplates the impending conflict. The room is sparsely furnished, with a simple table and a few chairs in the background, and a large map of the Balkans spread out before him. Putnik, dressed in his military uniform, is shown wearing the Order of the White Eagle and the Order of the Star of Karageorge, signifying his high rank and distinction. The title of the photograph, "The First Shots; Voivode Putnik, 25-27 July 1914," refers to the beginning of the First World War, which started on July 28, 1914, with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Putnik, who played a significant role in Serbia's military preparations leading up to the war, is shown here in a contemplative moment, likely considering the strategic implications of the impending conflict. The photograph is a testament to the gravity of the situation and the weight of responsibility that Putnik and other military leaders faced during this tumultuous time in history. The image is also a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and apparel of the early 20th century, with Putnik's uniform and the simple furnishings of the room providing a window into the past.
