EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the intense gaze of Aristide Pierre Henri Briand, a prominent French politician and statesman during the tumultuous period of the First World War. The photograph, titled "M. Aristide Briand" and created by Marcel Baschet in 1916, is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916" series. Briand, with his piercing eyes and well-groomed moustache, exudes a sense of determination and resilience, reflecting the challenges of leading France through the wartime years as President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs during the Third Republic. The pastel shading and high contrast of the print add depth and texture to the image, highlighting the furrows on Briand's forehead and the creases around his eyes, further emphasizing the weight of responsibility he bore. The location of the portrait is not specified, but the formal attire and serious expression suggest a formal setting, perhaps in an office or government building. The direct gaze of Briand as he looks into the camera adds an intimate connection between the subject and the viewer, allowing us to glimpse into the mind of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the course of French and world history during the 1910s. Marcel Baschet, a skilled photographer, expertly captured the essence of Briand's character in this powerful and evocative portrait, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical images from the First World War era.
