EDITORS COMMENTS
Une base Allemande en Adriatique: L'occupation de Corfou; Le matin du 11 janvier... (A German Base in the Adriatic: The Occupation of Corfu; The Morning of January 11th...) is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, depicting the early hours of a German occupation of the Greek island of Corfu. The image, from the Collection de la Guerre IV, was published in the French magazine L'Illustration in January, February, March, April, May, or June of 1916. In the photograph, a group of Alpine soldiers can be seen stationing on the port, their boots planted firmly on the cobblestones at the foot of the citadel. Some of the soldiers are wearing helmets, their faces obscured by the shadows of the early morning. The harbor, bathed in the soft glow of the dawn, provides a stark contrast to the military presence. The photograph offers a glimpse into the wartime occupation of Corfu by the German forces. Corfu, a strategic location in the Adriatic Sea, had been a contested territory during the First World War. The photograph captures the moment of the German landing, a significant event in the military campaign in the region. The image is a poignant reminder of the military conflicts of the 20th century and the impact of war on civilian populations. The soldiers, dressed in uniforms and carrying their equipment, stand as a testament to the sacrifices made during the First World War. The photograph also highlights the historical significance of Corfu as a location of military importance and the role it played in the larger conflict. The photograph's creator is unknown, adding to its intrigue and mystery. It is a powerful visual representation of a moment in history, frozen in time, and offers a glimpse into the past through the lens of a bygone era.
